    I didn’t ask you anything, I posed an open question you responded to and continue to respond to with walls of text largely about your indignation that I would respond. Similarly use a thesaurus the hard r is also pejorative term.

    “woman-babies” gotcha so you’re just a sexist because those are also specifically sexist terms.

    Mansplaining doesn’t have centuries of intense persecution, torture, slavery, and many other awful things, things happening to this day, behind it.You are putting mansplaining on that level. Even if I agreed it was misandry, this would be a serious miss-equivocation.

    So nothing is offensive unless there’s a history of bigoted use? similarly no one said they are the same but it is a sexist term and the person using it a sexist.

    No one is asking for a professional, I’m asking people here that are comfortable using a sexist term why that is, no paper is going to tell me that.

      I’m asking people here that are comfortable using a sexist term why that is, no paper is going to tell me that.

      This wasn’t what you asked, initially, you are moving the goalposts, because a slur is a pejorative doesn’t mean a pejorative has to be a slur, slurs are also considered swear words, are all swear words slurs, and no I didn’t say something has to have a history of bigotry to simply be offensive, I said that in order for mansplaining to be comparable to the n word it has to carry that weight.

      Goalpost shifting, lying about what you originally asked, false equivalence, and so on. You asked why people thought mansplaining wasn’t sexist originally, pointed you to papers on that, you insisted random people instead tell you why, then you moved course to saying that there being negative connotations in a term, it is bigoted, now you claim the question was why people are comfortable using the phrase, which it wasn’t.

      Have fun being determined to not seek professional information on the use of mansplaining and why, while it may be a mean things to say, it isn’t misandry.
