I have a problem with Rick Perry's worldview in general, but not his comments about Wendy Davis in particularhttp://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/06/rick-perry-versus-wendy-davis.html …

@ryangrim But almost any argument presumes the other side doesn't know something. That's why there's an argument. -
@jonathanchait@ryangrim mansplaining is when men try to tell women things about their own lived experiences. -
@irincarmon@rachelsklar@jonathanchait@ryangrim FWIW in other realms "lived experience" is not trump card (eg. religious epiphanies) -
@irincarmon@rachelsklar@jonathanchait@ryangrim I say that bc I hate term "mansplaining," not to defend Rick Perry in any way -
@jeffbercovici@irincarmon@jonathanchait@ryangrim It's a pretty perfect term though, definition of "lived experiences" notwithstanding. - End of conversation

@ryangrim@jonathanchait unfortunate she doesn't know something about her OWN life -
@irincarmon@ryangrim Well, Perry didn't suggest Davis didn't know her own life history. Just drew different conclusions from it. -
@jonathanchait@ryangrim the condescension that she drew the wrong conclusions from her own adversity doesn't trouble you? -
@irincarmon@ryangrim I think it's ok to argue somebody drew the wrong conclusion from their own experience. Lots of conservatives have 1/2

@ryangrim@jonathanchait I'd say its pretty much mansplaining any time a man says he knows better than a woman re women's health issues. - 1 more reply
