Mansplaining

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mansplaining describes condescending statements made by a man who mistakenly thinks he knows more about the subject than the -  mostly female  - person he is speaking to. The term names the power asymmetries in communication between men and women. The word new creation came about when men reflected on the exercise of communicative power. The basis for the new word was an essay by the US publicist Rebecca Solnit from 2008. The article served as an initial spark for the emergence of the term and its spread on the Internet. The use of the term is controversial.

Etymology and parallel word creations

The neologism mansplaining is a portmanteau word from man (English: 'man') and splaining (English jargon - word for explaining : 'explain').

In English there is evidence of the verb to mansplain , the gerund mansplaining and the adjective mansplainy . Splain has been used for explain in non-high-level English texts since around 1800 .

Mansplaining has also resulted in parallel word creations such as whitesplaining in the English-speaking world . Of these, however, only one spreading has achieved a similar popularity as mansplaining : “The male spread can be observed above all in public transport, in which men spread their legs so far that they take up much more space than a person is actually entitled to. "

The author and Zeitmagazin editor Matthias Stolz derived an expression mantertaining ( man + entertaining ) from the word mansplaining in 2017 in order to jokingly characterize the behavior of those men who chronically overestimate the quality of their own jokes.

Definitions

  • The dictionary Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, which is often used in the USA in particular, describes the term as follows: “It's what occurs when a man talks condescendingly to someone (especially a woman) about something he has incomplete knowledge of, with the mistaken assumption that he knows more about it than the person he's talking to does. ”(Translation: What happens when a man speaks condescendingly to someone (especially a woman) about a subject of which he has only incomplete knowledge that he knows more about the subject than the person he is talking to.)
  • Lily Rothman of The Atlantic magazine defined Mansplaining in 2013 as "explaining without taking into account the fact that the person making the declaration (often a man) knows less than his counterpart (often a woman)".
  • The Australian Macquarie Dictionary classifies mansplaining as a slang and joking phrase applicable only to a man and paraphrases the term as: “Explaining something to a woman in a condescending way because it implies that the woman knows nothing about the subject. "
  • Mansplaining is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as "explaining something to someone in a way that you find condescending or patronizing, typically a man to a woman".

Emergence

occasion

Writer Rebecca Solnit told the story on tomdispatch.com in an essay entitled Men Explain Things to Me; Facts Didn't Get in Their Way in April 2008, an anecdote that she experienced in 2003. At one party, the host, an elderly, wealthy man, told her that he had heard that she had written some books. She began talking about her recently published book on Eadweard Muybridge . The other person then interrupted her to ask if she had heard of the recent publication of a very important Muybridge book and, without waiting for an answer, simply indulged in omissions about the book, which it later found out Knew reviews . The repeated objection by Solnit's friend, who was also present, that it was Solnit's book, was only heard the third or fourth time, but only left the gentleman speechless for a moment.

Solnit's essay from 2008 went further: There are far more serious consequences of an attitude that denies women credibility than those described in the anecdote. In countries in the Middle East , for example, the testimony of women in court has no weight, which is why they have to find a male witness, e.g. B. to bring her rapist to court. And in the USA too, despite all the progress, it is still an important feminist goal to “give women both credibility and a hearing” and to achieve that “rape, also in relationships and in marriage, as well as domestic violence and sexual harassment,” he said Workplace are treated as a crime ”. After all, in her home country, the USA, one of the most common causes of death for pregnant women is the murder by her husband or ex-husband.

In 2014, Solnit published the text Men Explain Things to Me in a collection of the same name of a total of seven essays, which deal with the topics of violence against women , gender equality , Virginia Woolf and Susan Sontag , among other things . Her text from 2008 can be found in the eponymous essay. Solnit also described reactions to the text and specified her own position, also with regard to the term mansplaining . Here she made it clear that she had nothing to do with the creation of the term, even if her essay was probably an initial spark because it reflects the zeitgeist very well. She herself has reservations about the word and hardly ever uses it because, in her opinion, it suggests that it is a matter of general "male misconduct", when in reality only some men acted like that. Solnit is of the opinion that women too sometimes condescently explain things to others, not least men. But say this "nothing about the power imbalance, which can take even more sinister forms, or about the pattern according to which the gender relationship in our society functions in general". From this it can be deduced that the author considers the behavior described by her to be the tip of an iceberg:

“The described conversational behavior is a method of exercising power in polite discourse - the same power with which women are silenced, wiped out and destroyed in rude discourse and through acts of physical intimidation and violence - as equals, as participants, as people with Right and far too often simply as living. "

- Rebecca Solnit

According to Solnit, the essay made it clear to her that there is a continuum “that extends from minor social grievances to violent silencing and violent death”.

Coining and dissemination of the term

USA and Australia

Solnit did not use the word mansplaining in her April 2008 essay. It was not minted until shortly after the essay was published and incorrectly sometimes attributed to Solnite. For the first time mansplaining used in a blog post on 21 May, 2008.

The Academic Men Explain Things to Me website came into being (German: When academics explain the world to me ). Hundreds of female academics exchanged views there "in which they were treated condescendingly or belittled, in which they were badly talked about and other things". Towards the end of the 2000s, the term mansplaining quickly spread and expanded within the feminist blogger scene . In a blog post from 2010 one finds the paraphrase that mansplaining is “when a man explains to you, a woman, how to do something that you can already do, or where you are in error about something that you are really about to do right, or if he explains false, alleged facts to you on a subject that you know much more about than he does ”.

In the US and Australian media, mansplaining was used again and again from 2012 to describe male public figures as well as fictional characters. Among them were Mitt Romney , the Republican presidential candidate of 2012, the Governor of Texas Rick Perry , the MSNBC presenter Lawrence O'Donnell , several figures of the HBO series The Newsroom , the music producer Jimmy Iovine , the Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull , the actor Matt Damon and consumer lawyer Ralph Nader .

Solnit sees the origin of Mansplaining as “the thoroughly provocative self-confidence of the completely ignorant”, which in their experience is gender-specific. She makes it clear, however, that only some men show this conceited attitude, which strengthens their "excessive self-confidence that is not supported by anything" and leads women into "self-doubt and self-limitation".

German language area

German-speaking media did not initially apply the term to people, but rather received it in connection with the awards the word received, especially with the election for Word of the Year 2014 in Australia. In the FAZ, Julia Bähr determined the everyday sexism of Mansplainers based on their general assumption that "the woman opposite them knows less than they do". She pointed out that this arrogance is often also due to the imbalance of the address: a “young woman” is common among mansplainers , but an answer with “old man” is usually met with a lack of humor.

Kathrin Hollmer judged in the magazine Jetzt of the Süddeutsche Zeitung that the real problem of mansplaining is the silence it entails - from women and men.

The translation herrklären was occasionally used by the German-language press to clarify terms , but is not commonly used in practice. In Solnit's collection of essays, the term is translated as man-clear .

However, the term “ male chauvinism ” is more common in German .

Sweden

In 2015 the Swedish Language Council added the term to its list of new words. The Language Council is a division of the State Institute for Language and Folklore (Institutet för språk och folkminnen) and the main organization for language maintenance in Sweden.

Gender knowledge as a battleground

Mansplaining is a word created to draw attention to traditional and modern gender blindness in communication and to reveal hierarchical gender relationships . The word is used as a kind of linguistic weapon and battle cry against gender blindness and the resulting concealment asymmetrical balance of power in gender knowledge . The gender war or gender war is one of the central arenas in the “new culture war” of the present .

The term turns against the naive everyday belief in sexism in gender relations that has long since been overcome and the emancipation of women that has long been achieved . He succinctly sums up decades of feminist criticism of society and science : “male self-forgetfulness in general ( androcentrism )” and “distortions and devaluations of female thought and life experiences in particular (sexism)”.

Hierarchical gender orders and their taboo

In today's societies there has so far been an everyday gender knowledge that is known as doxic , i.e. H. is considered real , true and unquestionable and is therefore taboo . It shows a wide range and mixture of convictions - that ranges from the conviction of a "given, unchangeable and natural essence of gender difference" to the myth of a long-established gender neutrality with objectively given gender equality. What these convictions have in common is that one's own unconscious gender knowledge should be protected and not questioned in more detail. However, this naive everyday belief in the world of life is increasingly shaken by diverse developments in society , politics and science . This also includes the increasing disclosure of the gender hierarchy of communication, including language ( gender linguistics ).

An example of the disclosure of the gender hierarchy of communication and its defense is the word formation mansplaining and the criticism of it. The word has developed in "feminist-activist circles" and is used there to name "various forms of paternalistic articulation by men towards women, such as condescending (and unsolicited) instruction or the devaluation of female expertise ."

Forms and Mechanisms of Mansplaining

Mansplaining knows many forms: "It can be observed when male laypeople explain their specialist area to female experts , when politicians describe the responsible federal minister as ' whiny ' within the framework of a political negotiation process" and especially "when dominant social discourses , norms and institutions are criticized and one The commentator then felt the urgent need to explain from above how the issue is normally understood and why it is a completely harmless, unproblematic matter. "

In all these forms which always is idea based on "the man - as representative of the general human - is by nature of rational , objective and all-knowing , quite the contrast to the female sex."

If a specific case of paternalistic or sexist hierarchization is disclosed, this is often relativized using the mechanism “Not all men are like that” (English “Not all men”). This communicative mechanism is intended to prevent the disclosure of the hierarchical gender order by relativizing sexist experiences and realities as well as male privileges . “Not only is this distracted from the actual problem and the structural component, the 'rule' ( sexism ), replaced by an individualizing argument , ie the ' exception' (the individual speaker), above all, this argumentative step prepares the perpetrator-victims - Reversal of anti-feminist arguments. "

In contrast to explicitly anti-feminist argumentation, mansplaining and the defense of the term are usually implicit actions and arguments in order not to have to reflect or disclose one's own gender knowledge in everyday life .

Classification: Current communicative practices of hierarchical gender order

The practice of hierarchical communication described by Mansplaining “is perhaps the 'most harmless'” within the hierarchization of knowledge of the sexes. More offensive practices are:

Gender habitus and role identity: Internalized gender knowledge

Men themselves have internalized paternalizing modes of articulation mostly in the context of their socialization or development of gender role identity and gender habitus . They “rarely have provocative intentions”. Nevertheless, "the mansplaining stabilizes the hierarchization of knowledge of the sexes " and sometimes leads to "a sham discussion about the alleged equality of all, which completely ignores power relations and silences those who consider those power relations."

criticism

Critical voices in the United States cited the condescending connotation of mansplaining and the undisputed fact that the denounced behavior was not necessarily linked to the gender of the speaker. As the word spread, some commentators complained that improper usage and inflationary usage had in some cases watered down the original meaning of the term. The term has also been criticized as sexist because of its stereotyping of the male sex .

Solnit said in the meantime that she had the impression that mansplaining was now being "applied a bit inflationarily". It sounded that it was probably not always correctly understood:

“I thought I wrote about men and violence. Maybe not about the reasons. But that they are violent. For women by a woman. We need to think about how men get damaged by the system. Not like the men's rights activists who blame women and want to go back to pre-1970. We need a debate about how we can all be free. "

- Rebecca Solnit, in conversation with Elisabeth Raether

Awards

Mansplaining found its way into a number of dictionaries. In 2013, Dictionary.com announced that it would add mansplain and the -splain suffix to its dictionary. In 2014 the word became part of the Internet version of the Oxford Dictionaries , and in January 2018 part of the printed edition. The reasoning stated that the term mansplaining had meanwhile gained a foothold in the language, although it was not quite ten years old.

2010 was Mansplaining on the words of the Year list of the New York Times and was 2012 by the American Dialect Society for the award for Most Creative Word of the Year nomination. In the end, however, it could not prevail due to a lack of originality, because it uses the prefix man in a way that was already known from word creations such as manscaping (English for: intimate shaving for men). In Australia, Mansplaining was named Word of the Year 2014 by the Macquarie Dictionary . The jury's justification stated that mansplaining was "an urgently needed, cleverly coined made-up word that captured in a catchy way the idea of ​​condescending explanations that some men all too often use to women".

In Germany, the word was put on the shortlist for Anglicism in 2015 .
