We wouldn't be though. You two wouldn't care about it, wouldn't have heard about it, and couldn't knee-jerk complain about it.

So the buzzword won...

it's easiest to find information on something if it has a label

If the term "murderkill" came into being as a way of describing assault, what would you assume it meant?

I don't know, but if I were to hear the term "mansplain" for the first time I'd assume it has something to do about men explaining things (which it does, good choice of word so far) and then inquire about the exact definition.

Talk about being condescending and assuming too much.

I think people sometimes see something as sexist when that isn't always the case. When it comes to douches I think they are most of the time just douches to anyone they see as inferior. It's not just females, it can be anyone they see as weak.

hmmm.. yeah.. w/e
on a completely unrelated note, i wonder why KMC has like 4 female members now and none of us go in the GDF..

I know that's your go to, but we are in a discussion trying to convince the other of our viewpoint, we have both been equally condescending in that way.

Is it because Scribs and I are sexists that need to be educated on women's rights by Bardock?

No, you just implied the term ''mansplaining'' has merit because of people like me. Implying that I wouldn't care about a women's right issue unless it was referred to by a name that offended me, while you know perfectly well that's not the case. That's beyond trying to convince me of your point of view.

It's these kind of tactics that turn more stupid people into XYZ's.

The buzzword won, and here we are debating that and not actual sexism.

You can't fight for gender equality with a term that isn't equal to both genders.

..Of course you can? You have to address the existing inequality. You can't pretend things are already equal.
