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

@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.
@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.

@emilymbender I did not know the term sealioning until just now. I've learned something from you today. Thanks.
@Bodling @emilymbender same! TIL sealioning. TY!

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

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

@emilymbender those people deserve the mute or block button

@emilymbender I sometimes have problems getting social cues or "read the room". Also, I sometimes might tend to infodumping.
My takeaway on many things it to simply hold back and shut up. I have no idea if that's always the right thing to do, but that's what I took away from it.
My #mansplaining takeaway is: never explain anything to anyone, unless being explicitly asked to.
I honestly wonder how that works for shy people or those who don't want to seem dumb for asking. (Could also be me).

@emilymbender Would never call myself #actuallyautistic as I never was diagnosed or anything, but there are tendencies. And all this social stuff sometimes is kinda hard for me.

@emilymbender Shit. Did I just #mansplain this? Nobody asked me. Serious question, I have no clue.

a useful flowchart for the guy,
little hint his decision is bottom left.

@wobweger @emilymbender i posted this this week and ended up with a bunch of bad faith takes from men who completely missed the point. The internet is a tiresome place.

I get a feeling that the flowchart could benefit from an additional arrow from the title to the “Probably”, marked “if you have to ask”
