    everyone knows that.
    you just explained very common knowledge to people that certainly know it.
    the problem is the terminology…
    men and women condescendingly explain shit to people all the time. If you attach the word “man” to it then you’re being sexist.
    when a man is condescending to a woman because she’s a woman, then that man is being sexist.
    if you assume every time a man is being condescending to a woman they’re being sexist, then you’re sexist.
    every time ANYONE makes a factual claim on the internet and it gets enough traction, someone will chime in and condescendingly explain why they’re wrong. gender is not the only factor.
    ….
    it’s certainly terrible how men are sexist and condescending towards women so often… making a new sexist term doesn’t help that problem.
    also, i’m not assuming your gender and you don’t know mine, i am merely disagreeing with you.
