Mansplaining- A Vicious Attack On Men

What is an ideal feminist norm in today’s scenario? Judging and being critical of every words & sentences spoken by a man. Hence, the word, mansplaining has become the ultimate weapon against man.

Pseudo- Feminist’s portrayal of a man.

For the feminists and most importantly, the pseudo- feminists’ today, a man is egoistic or patriarchal who do not value a woman’s worth.

Feminism today has lost its original intended value. It is more or less a reflection of certain women’s effort to reinforce their power & position by diminishing the achievements of man.

They have become successful indeed which can be seen in the efforts to build numerous social media campaigns but they have lost the support of men.

What is Mansplaining in the language of feminism?
Understanding the word, ‘Mansplaining’ is to break down the two words into Man and Explaining. In the language of feminism, ‘Mansplaining’ is technically defined as the nature of man to speak to a woman in a patronizing manner.

Negative usage of the term& its origin.
Mansplaining has already gained widespread use across the entire culture. The problem is that, terms like these often get used to browbeat people or shut down conversations.

The term has made quite a notorious image among men in making them feel insecure about conversing with a woman. Although, the reason behind primarily goes back to the origin when men were trained or brought up in a condition to engage in most of their primary relationships.

For instance, the tendency to talk over his younger sister & trying to put in a patronizing tone, explaining about the mistakes in her actions. This is actually ingrained within the society.

Men are taught to suppress their emotional expression, to project certainty & confidence above all. Even today, parents teach their sons to present a façade of emotional toughness & our daughters to admire that facade in men.

Mansplaining- A heavy burden on men.
Mansplaining is not the result of men believing that they know everything. Rather it is men’s collective fear of failing to give that knowledgeable impression or be shamed or lose status. It comes from the transactional nature of male relationships. Men are therefore in a trap. They are conditioned in such a way that they need to pretend for every single issue in this planet. The ones not pretending often becomes the subject of mockery by other men.

A global attack on men’s freedom of speech.
Canadian PM, Justin Trudeau was criticized in a public forum as well as the feminist trolls on Twitter for accusing him of mansplaining. In that forum, he corrected a female speaker who mentioned about the society as mankind. For Trudeau, it should be people kind & not mankind, if we are to reinforce an equal society between men & women. Despite being politically correct, he was mocked for mansplaining a woman and trying to purposely remove the word, ‘mankind’ as a political strategy.

However, the question arises that, if Trudeau had corrected a man, would he have been mocked in the same way that he was trying to mansplain a man?

The hypocrisy is stark evident. Dismissing the words of men in a politically, socially or an economically superior position has been the growing trend of the pseudo- feminists.

Today, the major agenda of feminism is, reinforcing their rights before everyone else. Their rights include, changing the ideal role relationships that were a constant feature of the society- Men above women. But now it is women above men. Thus, no real development has been attained. These feminists are basically trying to repeat the history all over again.

As a result, it has created a vicious cycle. The men feel threatened by the increasing dominance of women and resort to criminal means to suppress them. This has led certain women to form a radical protest and ostracize every man in this world.
