Your post reeks of mansplaining: http://www.theatlantic.com/sexes/archive/2012/11/a-cultural-history-of-mansplaining/264380/ http://www.theatlantic.com/sexes/archive/2012/11/a-cultural-... You are saying that "I have female co-workers who aren't put off by this culture! See, because I know them and they work in this culture, it's not sexist!" Which is a far cry from reality. At the very least, it's a far cry from Cristina's experience.

Not only is "mansplaining" the type of destructive insult that has no place in reasoned discourse, it's also pretty sexist in itself. Your comment would be much better without that first line.

"Mansplaining". But if we had a specific term to tell women their opinions were invalid simply because they were women, that would be sexist. I want to agree with your comment but the misandry makes me feel angry instead.
