"The phenomenon is not a new one, but the Rebecca Stolnit article did spark a renewed dialogue amongst women online, sharing our common experience handling the special kind of presumptuous self-importance that only mansplainers seem to summon when informing women what they need, what they want, and telling them how they feel about themselves and about the world. Mansplaining is the stuff of arrogance at best, oppression at worst, whether it be in a political, professional or personal setting. In the myopic Republican war on women, the insanity extends to astonishing comments about rape and reproductive rights, and even extends to the GOP insistence that there is no "war on women" at all. So ingrained is this point of view that there remains a significant portion of the American population that refuses to accept the idea that we willfully perpetuate a rape culture, even as situations such as the Steubenville case exhibit the fallout of just such a culture." superlowbudge.blogspot/2013/02/mansplainers-inc.html
