Whats the difference between mansplaining and a women talking to a man like he's stupid?

Nothing. A lot of women are stupid, trying to “empower” themselves. But the minute someone attacks them or mugs them many of them complain men aren’t stepping up to help. You asked for it you’re getting it, equality. I think women are attention seeking, need approval from men. All this body positivity, acting like they’re doing things that have never been done by man kind. You never see fat men promoting body positivity, shaking their ass on YouTube or ticktock. All it is is a term made up to try to shame men.

[DaveJord]

You don't see fat men prompting body positivity! Lol. 😅

Dave comes out swinging for the fences, and connects!

[LiamJHayden]

When men do it, it's offensive and demeaning. When women do it, it is empowering.

At least that's what the RadFems want you to believe.

[DaveJord]

LOL... that's so true!

Well I guess the difference would be the woman talking to a man like he's stupid probably isn't rooted in mysoginy. The reason it's called mansplaining is because it's explaining like women in general are stupid bc they're not men. A woman could mansplain too, I think, if she explains as if women in general are stupid because they're not men—she just likely won't include herself in the "in general" women, but rather as being like a man, or being educated by a man, thus "enlightened."

A woman explaining to a man as though he's stupid is more likely just plain bullying, or infantilizing, that man in particular compared to herself in particular. She is independently being an asshole. Which is different from explaining like they're stupid because they're a woman, which puts down all women to promote all men. So, "man"splaining. (A man can totally be an independent asshole too by the way, even if explaining to a woman like she's stupid.)

Both are right. The problem is you allow people to talk to you that way. This being said I've seen many times women "think" they are an expert and call mansplaining yet the expert didn't know something a man was trying to say. This is why mansplainjng is a thing because most women who claim to be experts are not experts. For example I'd still need to explain that boys have penis and girls have a vagina to most of our teachers and psychologists, most of which are women... shouldn't they already know this? 😔

One has bad intent and the other is trying to be helpful but is overdoing it.

[DaveJord]

I think the difference is that men expect it from their women at some piont, but women created a derogatory term for it.

[Leopard23]

Mansplaining is a device term made up to silence any debate from men.

[Sixgunsound]

Absolutely correct. It is pointless and unnecessary to anyone prepared and capable of fair intellectual competition.

[Red-Blaze]

One is a term for sense
And one is a silly idea meant to attack a single side, appling the gender has anything yo do with it, and should be put in w bottle to be a joke later on, not talked about outside of really bad taste jokes, or explation of marketing and maniplating

[WhitneySnow]

They’re the same thing just with different genders

[lucasnabizada]

Nothing is different... Both are people talking to another class of people who are trying to victimize themselves when they know they are losing an argument..

[TrueConfection]

Nothing. A guy on gag called me out for womansplaining (to?) him once. I thought I was being helpful. 😂 I'm glad he brought it to my attention and I apologized. We both laughed. It's rude either way.

[Sour-rose]

Nothin'. One's just a word we made up and the other is what it means... without the word. :)

[goaded]

The latter usually requires the man to say something stupid first, the former is an assumption that a woman doesn't know something which assumption wouldn't be made when talking to a man.

[DaveJord]

Can tell you how many times women have told me or assumed I don't know or understand something.

[DaveJord]

I would say one of the terms is sexist and the other is just something that happens.

[Sixgunsound]

It's OK for women to talk to men like we're stupid because of social and cultural permissions. Isn't male privilige grand?

[Gummy_Cluster]

My uncle had a thing on the wall that said. "I'm the master of this house, so whatever my says, goes!" lol
But it goes both ways...

[DaveJord]

@Gummy_Cluster lol...

[slatyb]

It's the same thing. But mansplaining is more common.

[DaveJord]

Is it? Think about that.

Omg that’s why my dating life sucks I keep dating girls who are dumb

i know this had nothing to do with your question but I just had a huge epiphany

[TacosRAwesome]

Nothing. Except one has a name and the other doesn't.

[anon1903]

I think it can happen both ways

[Nikki1989]

There is no difference. Both are wrong.

[AdithyaR]

Both are literally the same and wrong.

[Msputiton]

Nothing. Both are rude and ignorant
