cococandy: No, what it means in practice is that a man should not say anything at worse, or at least refrain from negating views espouse by a woman. If there is no female equivalent, then its horse shit. And that's what you're doing here, saying that I proved your point, meanwhile, you're not actually engaging but want me to shut up and just accept your views without questioning. Mansplaining as well as manspreading (to name a few) are basically nonsense attacking men as a gender, nothing more. 1 Like 1 Share |

You have no clue what you’re talking about. The fact that you think you do on this subject and I actually have to tell you what brought about the term in the first place is the exact definition of mansplaining. Because you’re so clearly wrong about it. However because you’re a man, you think you should be the one to tell me what it means. Mansplaining doesn’t seek for men to shut up. it seeks that you shut up and listen when a woman is discussing a topic in which she’s more knowledgeable than you. It doesn’t apply in all situations and has nothing to do with an actual debate between two male and female equals. It applies to situations where the man can benefit from listening but won’t. Because he’s the man and must know it all. It’s a female experience. Something you have never experienced but think you’re an authority on. Smh. pansophist: |

frostylook: Never heard the name, Leke Alder, before. Just looked him up on Google. I used to run a Men's blog (www.lashgator.com) so I know a whole lotta stuff about women and their b.s mind games. Besides, the op, Frostylook is obviously a Beta Male. It's sad he let his girl take on the dominant Alpha role in the relationship You see... Women can tell you all sorts of crap ranging from calling you names to "you're not man enough" but do you know the ONE THING women will NEVER EVER say to a man she's with? It's simple - I DON'T LIKE YOU! Bruh, women would rather piss you off to Hell and back but will find it extremely difficult to tell a man to his face that she doesn't like me. Because it makes her look bad. I mean, she choose to be with u in the first place. And no. I don't think it's about equality. It's more about balance... And role play. You see a Macho guy who prolly bench presses 150kg barbells succumb and act spineless whenever a barnie comes around. Showing weakness as a man is never sexy nor manly, I agree. But then if your woman shows you upfront that she doesn't wanna be submissive to you then you walk!! Because she's 100% replaceable! ... And if u don't show her you can dump her ass she will do the dumping herself. Men who lay their hands on women do so because he knows he can't get her to SUBMIT to him without being physically violent. I once had a girl during NYSC with whom I was in an open relationship with... And she's manipulative in a girly way and all... But anytime she pushes me past my threshold, I walk her out of my room or I leave the house for her. It doesn't matter if she's in my place or if I'm in hers. I just gotta leave that scene else I'll hit her. No jokes. I have anger issues and walking away has always done it for me. And as soon as I make my move to leave, that's when the MAGIC happens. It's like a high that fades away instantly! She always blocks my way and begs for me to stay. Some days she locks the door and hides the key in her bra.. that crazy biitch. And no matter how turned on I get trying to retrieve the keys from her bra, I never fall for it. Why?? Because there are a dozen other babes out there! Like God, it hurts me to know one can't bang all the chicks there is in the world. It's called having An Abundance Mindset.... something every man needs to have in other to make the transition from Beta to Alpha. Let the OP walk her down the aisle for all I care. I think k he's into some sadistic or masochist shiit. I'm done with this b.s thread man. |

cococandy:Ok. So what is the coined name of the term that requires a woman to shut-up when a man is discussing a topic which he is more knowledgable? Because if there is no name for it, then it implies that a woman can not be wrong? In other words, is ignorance a gendered thing applicable to men only? 1 Like |

The same reasons why there isn’t a white history month, or straight pride or nazi Remembrance Day. Some things become a necessity because of how the other side of the equation behaves. Women usually don’t dominate conversations even when they are more knowledgeable much less when the men are more knowledgeable. It’s something that rarely happens. pansophist: 1 Like 1 Share |

cococandy The same reasons why there isn’t a white history month, or straight pride or nazi Remembrance Day. Some things become a necessity because of how the other side of the equation behaves. This is a false equivalence, its red-herring. It is a fallacy of inconsistency. You cant compare mansplaining with genocide. seriously? smh. Women usually don’t dominate conversations even when they are more knowledgeable much less when the men are more knowledgeable. It’s something that rarely happens. Since you can't answer my question (because you surely have no answer for it), you are saying these? Should I look for videos on youtube where women are ''womansplaining''? If you want, request and I will give you links to many. Mansplaining is rubbish, it is nonsensical, and a genderisation of something everyone does (both gender). interrupting others, or dominating them when they talk is something humans do, not just the male gender. Learn to think for yourself, and stop being a disposable sentient to some stupid women creating such terms as mansplaining, manbreathing and manspreading. 3 Likes 1 Share |

I’m by no means equating those and you know it. A collation of YouTube videos of women interrupting or dominating a conversation can’t negate the fact it’s predominantly a male trait. If I hadn’t ever been told to keep quiet because “what do you women know?” Or have my opinion dismissed as emotions when a heated male in the same argument is regarded as logical then I would believe you that I am not thinking for myself. But as usual, carry on. Tell me all about it. pansophist: 2 Likes |

cococandy: And does it occurs to you that your opinion was dismissed because its illogical, unsubstantiated, and dont stand up to scrutiny? Does it occur to you that women also can dismiss your opinion ? Does it occur to you that men also dismiss other men? Why genderise it? If your Male teacher corrects you, is it mansplaining? Smh And men generally can attest to situations when they were told by women to shut up and listen, because somehow, we do not understand the female experience (even though women also dont understand the Male experience, but okay). Now men walk on egg shells just not to offend snowflakes, since any little thing can be interpreted as sexism, misogyny, and treating women as unequal. Stop acting like suffering is a woman only thing. In as much as I understand that victimism can be lucrative for you in this era, its unattractive and a hallmark of a low quality human. The only way to satisfy women that believe in nonsense like mansplaining is just to shut up and say nothing, since dismissing your point that is completely horse shiiit is mansplaining ![]() |

You haven’t said something wrong in this post. But again it only applies in a situation of two equals in a debate. All of what you mentioned can happen and is no real problem in an atmosphere of two equals. But in a situation where a woman clearly knows better and is the superior debater on that subject, asking her to keep quiet because “what do women know?” Is mansplaining. Attempting to dismiss her facts/opinions because the male angle must be logical while hers is automatically emotional is mansplaining. The fact that you can’t differentiate the two situations and are still arguing like I’m talking about all situations even after I have said otherwise SEVERALLY, shows you’re not listening to me. You have to be right. There’s a name for it ![]() pansophist: |
Re: My Girlfriend Is Too Stubborn, Please Advise Me by pansophist(m): 1:15pm On Mar 09, 2019 |
cococandy: No, you have a need to be right, and I have a need to Make sense. I'm focused on debunking what you wrote, and you're focused on making sure you're the right one. You're projecting. I've noticed how you systematically avoided all my hard points, and keep dismissing. its specious, a red herring, an attempt in sophistry. To the logical mind in this forum, you've just successfully exposed yourself as someone with no depth, cant corroborate and accept when your arguments are completely false and makes no sense. Mansplaining is a nonsensical term, and I dont care who coined it, probably a man hating feminist and you're here, swallowing it like someone who can't think logically. Smh |

BayMc: You know what I meant by no man can control me. My parents are liberal people. My father doesn’t need to demand it. When you said that my mum might have problem trying to instill morals, you ended up showing that your own parents forgot to teach you manners. You possible said it to strike a nerve. Leave elders out of your discussion. My father doesn’t control my mother. I don’t need to give you details about that. Back to the point of this comment, I said no man can control me. I respect everyone, well if you earn it. You call yourself my man and you want me to just sit and listen to everything you say. I am not suppose to have an opinion. I shouldn’t talk back at you when you do because what, you are the superior human. Nah, it doesn’t work like that. Maybe because of the way I was brought up and the people I grew up with. Let me tell you one that happened recently. I have this friend for over 5 years until it graduated to the feelings part last year and I did like him also and was willingly to give it a try but I told myself one I click 23, I wouldn’t waste my time in anyone that doesn’t have the same principles with me and I have been following that seriously. I, personally will love to enjoy my man in my marriage even of it means, the kids get to stay at their grandparents once in a while. I will also love to see my parents regularly at least once in a month when they are staying in the same state. He said if we are married, I would have to take permission from him to go see my parents and I can only see them once in two years. I swear I thought he was kidding, but he was not joking. Why would I marry a man who would not be comfortable in me going to see my parents in marriage. My grandma stays in ondo and my mum sees her at meats once in a month. Never have I seen my dad one day said don’t go. So I kept asking him for like two weeks because I wanted to be justified with I would do when he remained adamant. Well he remained adamant and I ended something that didn’t even start. I literally stopped being a friend to him. That was too harsh, but it was better than the inevitable ending. So young man, no man control me but we should respect each other. I am not yours to control. I’ll seek your advice because you are my partner. You tell me to do something I can’t do I’ll tell you why I can’t. I don’t know. The last man I was with showed me a new light in relationship. We were very good friends. In his words “Victoria I don’t want you doing this, because of this reason, not you shouldn’t do this. I feel like I have written a whole. So my point is if we don’t share the same mind, I wouldn’t be with the person. I unfollowed every celebrity that voted buhari and rejoiced about his re-election. That’s just me. Unfollowed tuface because of the yahoo statement. I don’t kiss ass. I once had a stubborn boss during service. He bullied me because I was too quiet and he thought I couldn’t talk back. Insulted me in front of my fellow corpers, until I could take it no more then I talked back at him and told him to do his worse. What’s the worse that would happen? Nysc would tell me to repeat it in five years or what? When I took that decision, I had already damned all consequences. You have no idea how controlling/bullying affects one emotionally. Sorry for my long epistle 1 Like 1 Share |

Oh my goodness. ![]() Oh well have it your way. The women who experience mansplaining are obviously not sure of what they experienced. Until you tell us what it is that we experienced and what the name is. I should have ignored you . My bad. You’re being logical. I am being emotional. As usual pansophist: 1 Like |

Viicfuntop: younq woman, you're understood. And i quite aqree with your principles. On personal terms, i don't do those controllinq stuffs. In fact if marriaqe happens, spontaneity imbued in me would warrant the partner to be seen as equal, and not as someone lesser or inferior, in fact, she'll have the same riqhts I have. "Reasoninq toqether" before taking steps would happen a lot. Yellinq, inconvenientinq each other...no no, i don't do those stuffs. All she'll have to do is know her place with me, and respect me! Behavinq like a God over someone's life is a no-no with me, cos I won't want another person to act like a God over my life. What i won't take from you, I won't do you! But come what may, still, the husband had been pronounced "the head" by God, so "controllinq" can't really totally be ruled out just like that. Its just that...it shouldn't turn qrandiloquent |

You know exactly what to do. You don't need anybody to tell you that the relationship is nothing but a toxic one. You deserve better. Forget love ooo. For a relationship to stand there are so many variables to consider and love is just occupying a number below so many others. Leave the relationship and find someone else that's not feeling so big of herself. |
