    Jesus Christ, you’re somehow losing the ability to follow a conversation.

    Why are you quoting yourself?

    It is sexist no matter the context, I’m not using it against anyone so I’m not a bigot I’m just exampling a bigoted word. You’re being obtuse. Is there a way to remove the intended insult from the hard r? No. Can you remove the intended insult from mansplaining? No. So both of those are always bigoted at times you might argue there’s some moral reason to do it but that’s all ex post facto.

    It’s sexist. If you need to see me as a bigot to get that across the so be it but you know as well as I do your argument is void of logic.

      So it seems like what you’re trying to say is that it’s possible for you to use that word without being a sexist, depending on the context?

      Yes or no?

        Use it in a sentence in the correct context, I’ll leave it to you to prove you can remove the insult from it.

        No, its always sexist. Point to where I said the person using it is always a sexist. What I’ve said is if you’re saying someone is mansplaining you’re in fact a sexist and I’ve said you cannot remove the intended insult.

          Let’s try this again.

          Yes or no:

          Is it possible for you to use the word “mansplain” without being a sexist, depending on the context?

            Yes. We’ve gone over this. You can use it without being a sexist.

            You cannot use it in the proper context without being a sexist ie. “Greg is mansplaining baseball.” Because that’s clearly a sexist insult.

            Your think you’re making a point but you’re just rehashing shut you’ve apparently forgotten.
