There's a person on here sealioning in my mentions about mansplaining and demanding criteria for adjudicating whether any individual comment is or is not mansplaining.

@lisamelton It's endless, and somehow much worse on the Fediverse than elsewhere.
@emilymbender Ouch!
We need to fix this here but I'm not sure how. If I can help in any way please let me know.

This is, of course, asking the wrong question: It's asking "How do I defend myself against accusation?" rather than "How do I interact with people (esp women sharing their expertise) respectfully?"
@emilymbender I did not know the term sealioning until just now. I've learned something from you today. Thanks.

@emilymbender hmmm… If only someone would publish a flow chart or decision tree that assist in learning?
Oh. Right. (Scrolls up…)

@emilymbender Obviously this person is a dude, right? I'm so sorry you're dealing with this bullshit. It just never stops, does it?
️I really hate how "dude" is no longer something cool.

@airwhale Jeff Bridges is *The* Dude. And he abides.
Everyone else? Not so much.
So, yeah, it has become a moniker of derision. And it's still a *gendered* moniker. Something I wish the younger generation of women would realize.

@lisamelton @emilymbender Would other dudes calling them out be helpful?

@emilymbender I love your work and I am sorry that some servers will not come and get their men
If it's the account I think it may be, the account either no longer exists, or is at least hidden from public view.

@emilymbender What’s sad is that I think the root issue is the constant anxiety associated with social media and being read in bad/confused faith, and rather than lean into the “social” aspect of SM and just continue conversations with those that treat you like a person while accepting that flawed human beings will misread you or you’ll misspeak/be wrong but within the tension lies growth, this guy wants the final cheat code to get out of experiencing social disapproval.

@emilymbender @yo_bj looking forward to the same person mansplaining what is or is not sealioning, where by looking forward I mean :headdesk:

@WhiteCatTamer I read him differently---I don't think he has any anxiety. I think he wants to "prove" that I am wrong for calling someone out for mansplaining (and then calling him out for mansplaining the mansplaining).

@emilymbender Ah, gotcha; swinging right out of the gate. Ugh. Sorry, that’s tiresome.

Every time I experience an exceptional woman I am reminded of the tremendous waste of human potential existing in deeply misogynistic cultures.
Having said that, back in my day, pre Internet Usenet, we already figured this out - dont feed the trolls.

@goss Ah, yet more victim blaming. Just the cherry on top that was needed.

@goss @emilymbender I think I shall take this advice.
Consider yourself muted.

@emilymbender @goss Mansplained victim blaming, no less. SMFH.
