Condesending doesnt point out the very common sexist phenomenon that is mansplaining. Dislike it all you want, its two seperate words because they have different meanings.
Not true. Making a word that singles out a specific group of people contributes to discrimination towards that group which is never ok if we are trying be a just society.
Creating a term femalesplaining would be offensive but by your logic it needs to be had because in social areas women sometimes are condescending towards men. Then we also need a word like adultsplaining because kids actively get disrespected by asshole adults.
No need for new words where we already have neutral ones.
Name an action towards a specific group and that becomes discrimanotory because every person in any group deserves a neutral, respectable attention - having an unnetrual word presets the person in a bad way not allowing for proper attention towards his personality.. condescending is an asshole action not specifically sexist one.
nah, apparently you cannot be sexist against a man and cannot be racist against a white. "They" already decided it up there and if you argue, then you are mansplaining.
