I think my usage of "mansplaining" is pretty ideal here. It describes a specific behavior almost entirely practiced by men and which is being practiced right here and now. The interesting part about "mansplaining" (as it were), is that it's usually slathered in "appeals to reason", logical fallacies, declarations of impartiality etc. etc. But it's easy to spot.

> usually slathered in "appeals to reason", logical fallacies, declarations of impartiality If you think that other posters have engaged in logical fallacies, why not quote the text, name the fallacy, and explain how you think it applies? Re: "appeals to reason", we absolutely should strive to be reasonable in our evaluation of claims and positions. I believe this is the main reason that various kinds of ideologues get strong pushback on HN.
