None of them exist in the comments of men who think that if this isn’t 100% gendered phenomenon, we can’t talk about how it mostly is. If you want numbers, read some studies about gender politics at work.

“all of these situations”? Jesus Christ, no.

I’m responding to commenters who can’t fucking understand that simply because condescension isn’t a 100% man-to-woman phenomenon, it isn’t fair to discuss how it most often is.

There is nothing fucking politically correct about the term “mansplaining.”As for taking the term seriously, it’s slang.

You’re reading a handful of comments from men saying, “Women do it too!” and I’m responding: obviously women do it, too. That doesn’t fucking invalidate that women experience it more often from men.

Oh, go read any of the countless studies done on gender politics at work. Instead of the handful of angry male commenters here saying, “This happens to me, too! Just last year!”

I know of guys whose lives have been ruined by baseless accusations.

This article is a lot more nuanced than that. She’s not saying it’s rape — in fact, she explicitly states that it isn’t. She’s addressing something that’s in between enthusiastic consent and rape. This isn’t only a problem between men and women — our entire society teaches us to pressure people. To do things we want…

Do you people read English? Because that’s exactly NOT what this article says. Seriously, how do all you men get through the day with all your fragile, vulnerable, neurotic, hysterical personalities?

You can do that on a planet that isn’t 50% women. Until you find that planet, suck it up and share the public space.

Okay, do men really not understand percentages? Or actual words that appear in the above article?

I’m a woman and there’s many times I can recall in the past week. A guy at work tried to explain html to me. In 2017. And he knows my job involves building websites.

Studies have demonstrated that you’re wrong about that “not particularly sexist” part. It skews very heavily sexist.

Starred because I star any comment that begins, “I know the guy...”

No offense, but that’s why I avoid dating most old white guys. Because they can’t see the difference between this and the Michael White interview questions.

Aw, shucks.

People don’t pick on feminists enough.

Thank you for the entertaining phrase “interactive porn.”

Well said. Not to mention the ridiculousness of thinking anyone except the one with breastmilk is actually going to get up 5 times a night to feed the baby. Unless they start off with bottles, that’s not happening.

Who are you talking to? RoseRevolution suggested therapy, not divorce. And Jane Marie suggested waiting at least six months before deciding what to do.
