That explanation requires prior knowledge or post hoc knowledge otherwise you're simply saying it's based on sex or race.

How is this substantially different then screeching "dei" at every minority that mildly inconveniences you?

It wasn't an explanation about how to assess whether someone is mansplaining or not -- it was a definition of what mansplaining is.

Yeah and I'm asking them to use their definition in comparison, how exactly is saying "he's mansplaining" substantially different then "dei hire".

Tl;Dr they're ok saying sexist things because they are a vile human being.

To be clear, no you weren't. Hence the confusion.

But since you've clarified: obviously using any term to unfairly accuse someone of being or doing something is a bad thing. Is that a real question?
