A bit of an aside, but it sounds like congressman mast was just being condescending in his explanation, I dislike the not-so-subtly implied sexism of the article's usage of the verb "mansplain" just by virtue of the fact that he is male and guerline is female.
- eynsham 5y agoI suppose that there’s no guarantee that it was motivated by sexism. I think some authors choose to use such words even when they aren’t entirely sure because it’s impossible to be completely sure and so they think it’s better to flag cases somewhat inaccurately rather than not at all. I don’t really agree with this, but on the other hand I don’t know what else I’d do.
