    That particular statement, I didn’t think I’d need to explain direct responses.

    Not at all, they can be misogynistic and you can misandrist, they aren’t mutually exclusive.

    When it’s a sexist term you’re going to be assigned to be sexist just like I’m not stopping to ask the person dropping hard r’s if they think they’re racist. I don’t need to their actions say that much.

    You didn’t. You tried to explain how it isn’t sexist when it is.

    Correct, and then it also wouldn’t be a sexist slur. So femsplaining = not sexist? Uh huh, can’t wait to hear you explain that one away.

    The mras response to clearly sexist slurs which is go figure, a clearly sexist slur. Who would have guessed?

      When it’s a sexist term

      By your definition, misogyny is a sexist term. Maybe that’s what you’re missing in all of this.

        It is, it’s just not a derogatory term. It can be used with the right context to be an insult but “mansplaining” or “femsplaining” are always derogatory just as they were intended to be.

          Just so we’re clear, you believe that using the term “misogyny” is discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of the opposite sex?

            It’s by definition discriminatory because it’s a statement of discrimination no one said anything about it being abusive. It’s not just not necessarily derogatory whereas mansplaining always is.

            What even is your argument at this point because at the moment you’re hedging more and more every statement.
