HN doesn't like sarcastically pointing out mansplaining, that's pretty clear.

I deleted the original reply because I made it in haste and it was rude.




Your use of the feminist shaming word mansplaining makes this new reply of your's rude and ad hominem as well.

You may wish to consult the urban dictionary or other sources for feminist shaming tactics http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Feminist%20Sh...

And here is an article by a feminist at xojane discussing why she will never use the word "mansplain" http://www.xojane.com/issues/why-you-ll-never-hear-me-use-te... I do appreciate your femsplaining why all the men here have been wrong to disagree even mildly with rachelbythebay

I also would highly recommend you read Feynman's Cargo Cult Science. You may find it insightful. http://www.lhup.edu/~DSIMANEK/cargocul.htm


Citation? Have there been any studies showing a correlation between use of the word "mansplain" and increases in ad hominem attacks?


If we used a word specifically invented to tell women they cannot participate in a discussion because they are women and they don't agree with us, you would be quaking with rage. You are a misandrist.


When managers tell us implementing this feature, which they have never done themselves and have no possible way to experience, is super-easy and we're just lazy whiners for taking so long, we laugh them out of the room. Perspective matters.


Not due to their gender we don't. So you are comfortable being sexist because "perspective". Okay.
