    The Feminist-thumping hellhole of Sweden does it again!

    Unionen, the country's largest labor uniom, has noted that "mansplaining" is a broadly widespread and dangerous societal problem that affects women on the work-place every day. So badly that they need at hotline to call for consolation (wtf?).

    For those of you still living in reality, mansplaining is another of those jibberish terms from the Swedish state-religion of gender studies that - basically - means when a man shares his view in a conversation.

    Questions for discussion: (¡)Thoughts? (¡¡)Ladies, have you ever fallen victims of 'mansplaining' at work? (¡¡¡) How is this not the most ridiculous thing ever?

    Its Sweden, they fell down the Rabbit Hole a long time ago, and should be written off as a lost people. What do they contribute to the world anyway? Other than being an example of what not to do, they contribute nothing.

    I don't really know, but would make up the stupidiest stories just to see how they would reply.

    Maybe if you were born a girl, you wouldn't need to.

    “Mansplaining” is a ugly word and the issues it relates to don’t necessarily require a “helpline” (though this seems to be as much about bringing attention than an actual solution) but underlying this is behaviour that does really happen and would be better if it didn’t.

    Nah. It is bollox and just a bully's term. Not at all a real issue.

    It does not happen.

    Man splaining is merely a childish term which means do not ues logic facts or reason to challenge my idiotic beliefs

    I would offer political asylum to anyone who was born in the Nordic countries. It's getting very oppressive and they need to be afraid of a system which permanently exploits them for SJW political gain.

    It's very ironic that they'd bring 'mansplaining' up, because men rarely have the balls in today's PC society to say "no, you're a woman, you can't have an opinion on this". But the SJWs are f***ing constantly saying "you're white/male/Christian/cis/hetero, you can't have an opinion on this". That's their reply to me at least 1/3rd of the time.

    Talk about hypocritical c**tsplaining.

    You’re claiming that there has never been a situation where a man was condescending to a woman because he didn’t think females were capable of understanding?

    Maybe you need to stop worrying your pretty little head about complicated issues like this and leave the men to deal with it.

    That is not mansplaining.

    And leaving the real men to deal with it excludes you

    Sweden is good for laughs.

    The country where feminists tried to pass a law forcing men to pee sitting down.

    Country where "studies" come from like slouching leads to discrimination against women.....

    et cetera

    lol

    This has nothing to do with sexism, misogyny or whatever you want to call it and everything to do with individual personalities and context. Big headed men who "mansplain" as a mean of belittling their opponent is probably using it against men just as much as he uses it against women. And some, I assume, are misogynists.

    Since this is more about personality than anything, there are women who like to "mansplain"("vagsplain"?) too. So, it is not really a women's rights issue, but rather is it a hate for individual diversity and diversed opinions.

    I have been accused of "mansplaining" for not agreeing with a female co-student at a seminar(!) And it was not as if I used any condesending language, sexist remarks or in any way belittled or ridiculed her view. I simply, in a civilised manner, shared my take on the topic in question.
