Whether or not the value of the word mansplaining has been diminished over time thanks to overuse, if what you’ve described isn’t mansplaining then nothing is. You’re in the clear, Doc.

Men, plural? Who?

Reposting that quote doesn’t answer the question, unfortunately.

No, I was trying to suggest that it’s not bad and is completely trivial, but that you have tried to tell me I’ve been nefarious and have been making uncharitable interpretations about my motivations for days. The point was how utterly silly that is.

To what end?

“Therefore, people shouldn’t mock the argument that a rapist is upset at being convicted of rape, and shouldn’t get jail time”

Careful. They bite.

They immediately derailed the thread, condescended to multiple people who disagreed with them...

Where did I ever say that punishment “for its own sake” is the goal of the criminal justice system?

You think I’m deflecting? I wrote that answer days ago. You even quoted it if I recall. It seems you’ve only now bothered to read it.

Tsk, you’re being tricksy. Be mindful of equivocation when formulating your argument.

Now, now. Be careful. Words are tripping you up again.

Because I’ve actually addressed that point in many of my above posts. Perhaps you’d like me to link to them.

Because they don’t directly refute my point. Why don’t you try answering the question? See how you go. :)

!!!!!!

Clear lying. Endless reservoirs of it.

Because literally everything is a conspiracy.

My hero. :)

Implying something “nefarious”!

Yes, quite! Let’s have a conversation about it! I’m excited!
