Imagine someone sitting on the bus telling their friend about how they're allergic to peanuts.
Wouldn't it be weird if you just stepped into that conversation with "actually, a lot of people are allergic to bananas, you know. Not every allergy is peanuts!"
Kind of a silly response to a conversation about peanut allergies, yeah?
Because this is how you sound when I mention a man doing something toxic and you jump in to tell me that women can be toxic too.

A common thread in the way men discuss things here is levelling the charge of "misunderstanding" at someone (who, from what I've seen is invariably not a man). There's this assumption that their ability to comprehend something is inherently correct and if they don't easily understand a point being made they won't struggle to think it through, they just decide its a problem with the writer.
Babe, that struggle is where the learning and discovery lie.

Him:
WHAT YOU HAVE POSTED IS CONFUSED

Him:
NO, IT IS A CONFUSED POST
Me:
You mean YOU find it confusing?
Him:
NO IT IS CONFUSED AND ILLOGICAL WITH YOUR SILLY GIRL WORDS -
I'm seriously considering adding "no cis men comments" to all of my posts because I'm fucking DONE with the mansplaining here.
It's worse than anywhere else I've ever encountered.
I wish you could make posts so that they could be responded to by people who aren't men.
