The truth about the term "mansplaining"

If you can be 'silenced' just by someone disagreeing with you, either there's a massive power discrepancy, or I strongly doubt you would've stood up to a stiff breeze in the first place.

And then you point out that feminists have broken the law IRL to keep men and women from talking about men's issues. Pulling fire alarms is actual silencing.

One newspaper article about "mansplaining" had this commentary BTL:
Reader 1: Why don't we have a term for a female addressing a male in an annoying manner?
Reader 2 (female): We do: Nagging.

"Figures that a MAN would have to come onto our DesignatedSafeSpace page and try to pathetically explain things to us stupid, uninformed lowly women oh poor victimized us... Cue the obnoxious Feminist Hashtags"

Somebody had to do it, and the Accepted Sisterhood had no interest in having the truth known

I thought Notch was a huge feminist. Was I wrong or did something change?

I'm kind of new to the men's rights movement, but I am enjoying it. I've never heard this one, though: what is "mansplaining," and why is it so sexist?

It looks like I'm going to have to mansplain it to you and the rest of the sisterhood. I'm only gonna do this once so listen up.

Damn, even the creator of the most successful game of all time doesn't like their garbage, feminists are just learning that gaming really isn't going to welcome their crap anytime soon.
