That's exactly what you're arguing.
No it concedes that I'm using a bigoted word in a discussion about said bigoted word. It's really not hard to figure out unless you're trying to be blind.
Not at all, I know it's bigoted, you just admitted it was bigoted and thus you agree with me. Duh.
It is, you can't remove the racist insult from the hard r and you can't erase the sexism from mansplaining they are inherent.
No your argument is janky at best and we know that because you devolved to insults rather than discussion.
It is though it is amusing you just described what just did as your example of ad hominem.
An error? Who makes those?! Grow up
"My argument is perfectly clear: it’s that your logic is flawed."
Yeah no shit, that's why I said it...
Correct, which, by your logic, makes you a sexist:
That's what I was referring to, clearly. Though I love how your argument style just keeps getting more and more disingenuous and rude.
No it means I exampled a bigoted word in a discussion about that word, there's a huge difference between an academic discussion and using it in my day to day life.
If that's the way you need to see it to accept that it is on fact sexist then yes, sure. If rather you think I'm a bigot then you actually be a bigot and use bigoted terms.
Yeah except that's me and we know I don't mean it given the plethora of context but please try to climb that pile you insist on greasing.
So your response to "That's not what I said" is "That's exactly what you're arguing?"
Even though I explained it to you right after that line?
Weird.
Correct. And:
So, according to you:
Pretty simple stuff, guy. No one made you say these things. You can't be mad at me because you painted yourself into a corner.
Contradicts with:
Which is it?
Jesus Christ, you're somehow losing the ability to follow a conversation.
Why are you quoting yourself?
It is sexist no matter the context, I'm not using it against anyone so I'm not a bigot I'm just exampling a bigoted word. You're being obtuse. Is there a way to remove the intended insult from the hard r? No. Can you remove the intended insult from mansplaining? No. So both of those are always bigoted at times you might argue there's some moral reason to do it but that's all ex post facto.
It's sexist. If you need to see me as a bigot to get that across the so be it but you know as well as I do your argument is void of logic.
So it seems like what you're trying to say is that it's possible for you to use that word without being a sexist, depending on the context?
Yes or no?
Use it in a sentence in the correct context, I'll leave it to you to prove you can remove the insult from it.
No, its always sexist. Point to where I said the person using it is always a sexist. What I've said is if you're saying someone is mansplaining you're in fact a sexist and I've said you cannot remove the intended insult.
Let's try this again.
Yes or no:
Is it possible for you to use the word "mansplain" without being a sexist, depending on the context?
Yes. We've gone over this. You can use it without being a sexist.
You cannot use it in the proper context without being a sexist ie. "Greg is mansplaining baseball." Because that's clearly a sexist insult.
Your think you're making a point but you're just rehashing shut you've apparently forgotten.
Great!
So can you give me a single example of a scenario where a woman could:
We've done this, you're rehashing your stupid argument again.

Max depth reached.
Sure, it starts here: https://lemmy.nullspace.lol/comment/61891
No no no, be specific you spent half a day crying about how important it is to directly quote people.
Similarly what sex am i? Though I do love how you peeled back that mask to reveal you are indeed a bigoted nitwit.
Max depth reached.
True or false:
Giving an example of a scenario is a different action from stating that you believe such a scenario could exist.
Turns out you weren't even asking a question you're demanding an example, your inconsistencies are just stacking up bud.
Forgive me here, at what point in this prolonged attempt to jam your head as deeply as possible into your own ass does this end or is this some sort of masturbatory ouroboros?
Nowhere in that thread did you answer that question. Feel free to quote your answer and prove me wrong.

Then you aren't reading.
