Mansplaining is Now an Official English Word: A Rant
Before I start off, let me say this: The following is a rant by me about this Grade-A Feminazi bullshit and should not be used in any legitimate argument, it is simply me unloading my anger regarding it.
If you don’t believe me about this simply go to the official Oxford English dictionary website and type in the word “mansplain”: I shit you not an actual definition pops up. To put it curtly, I am pissed the fuck off by this. This sexist, pointless, and retarded bullshit has to be one of the most blatant proofs of the third-wave feminazi war on men ever observed; the cows responsible for pioneering this word to the point where it has its own definition have proven that the movement they represent needs to be stopped as it now has real-world influence.
The idea that a man explaining something in a precise way and breaking it down is sexist is ridiculous. When a person elaborates on a topic in an extensive manner it is not to be condescending and patronizing; it is done to explain how the process, item, etc. fucking works. Anyone who is deluded enough to think that an elaboration on something is somehow sexist is a complete idiot. If I’m explaining to someone how anything even remotely complex works, functions, the principle behind it, or just talking to them about it, I am going to break it down: I don’t care if you’re Chinese, Japanese, chuckie cheese, white, black, Hispanic, male, female, kekistani, or a fucking attack helicopter if that’s how you role; I am going to explain it in enough detail that you will understand it fully and completely because that’s how you respect someone. To elaborate fully is to show that you are fully engaged in interacting with an individual and showing that you’re in the moment and at your best given the task at hand. So, once again: It isn’t sexist to thoroughly elaborate on any given thing, it’s a way of being respectful to a person and showing that you value them and their time.
Even in a case where someone is truly being condescending to you, it isn’t mansplaining; in fact, we already have a word to explain what they are doing/being. The word is asshole. If someone is being condescending to you and treating you like a nimrod, they are being an asshole assuming that there is no legitimate reason for their acting like that. It doesn’t mean sexism; it means assholery. Like it or not, for better or for worse, some people are just assholes; if you cannot except that all humans have the capacity to be an asshole and a dick, (and that there are people out there who are just like that), then you are going to have a really rough time in the world (you probably already are to be honest). Furthermore, you don’t need to attack a whole group of individuals and make generalizations about that whole sex; assholes are a very small percentage of the global population and come in all shapes and sizes. Assholes stink, nobody is denying that, but that doesn’t mean that an individual should go to war on a broad swath of people to combat them; I will even go as far as to hypothesize that you have only experienced one or two of them and are now going to war on an entire population because of it. You don’t need to make a new word that attacks a very small number of assholes and can be used to wrongly label people who aren’t assholes.
Finally, why is it that somehow just one or two cases of assholery can warrant a generalizing term being created to attack an entire group of people who probably don’t practice regular assholery? I am not saying that no woman has ever experienced a man being condescending towards them in an explanation of something for no reason other than sexism; however, that isn’t a reason to make this sexist word. Sexism is still around, I won’t deny that; but why are we fighting fire with fire? The word “mansplain” is sexist; it is nothing but a term that can be used to generalize men explaining things to make them sexist pigs when they aren’t. Also, echoing the above paragraph, maybe you should lighten up. There are people in the world who are just assholes; these people have no reason to be ones, but they are. If you go around calling everyone sexist when not everyone is, you end up being the one looking sexist.
So, where are my final remarks? First the word is sexist, period. I would honestly like to call for a petition to abolish the word. Second, I don’t feel like the word is needed; again, the words douchebag, dick, and asshole already exist and they don’t generalize an entire swath of the human population that is guilty of having a dick. On that note, doesn’t that last statement about people having a dick sound a lot like people being guilty of nothing but being black? Okay, that last sentence was kinda stupid and a low blow, but I think that it is something to think about. Finally, I would like to link this back to a new trend I’m seeing across the board in the world. I think that we are forgetting that the world is messy; it isn’t just sunshine and rainbows out there. There is sexism, there is racism, there is homophobia, there are trolls that do nothing but send death threats and stir things up just to watch a shitstorm unfold, people die, people get shot, sometimes even the most clean-cut person can show a darker side, and at times even things that we think of as something we would never do we finally become. But, this doesn’t mean that the world is evil: the world isn’t the problem, it’s how we see the world. Many people, including myself at times, have a perfectionist paradigm. Essentially, this means that there is an expectation of flawlessness; this frame of mind can become quite troublesome because when you put it up to the test of reality you see that the world is far from perfect. From here, it is easy to sound the alarm bells. Maybe we need to lower our standards a bit. The SJWs should accept that the world isn’t one big liberal arts college campus; you will see something really ugly, in the figurative sense, sometimes. But, this isn’t a reason to write off the whole world. Instead, maybe we could all benefit from accepting that the world is flawed; when we look at things as needing to be perfect, not only do we go apeshit when something doesn’t go the right way, but it also becomes easier to label things that aren’t really fucked up as being fucked up.
