The difference between mansplaining and helping is all about the level of condescension attached to your "help". If you are genuinely trying to relay information that you feel may help someone...you're good. If you're talking down to someone that you feel would already have this information, if only they had been born with a penis...you're being a misogynistic asshole.

I agree.

Out of interest and looking at the downvotes: did I not communicate well? Is my position precieved as pro patriarchy?

Not as far as I could tell. I was just adding my two cents to your two cents. It wasn't meant as criticism, just embellishment. I have no idea why you're getting any downvotes. The internet is a weird place sometimes.

Then why call it man splaining? Misogynsplaining is better word than that sexist shit you call it
