>To state plainly what I see in this topic: white men talking about feminism presumptuously. White knighting; "as a man, I..."; mansplaining.

But how do you know the person you're talking to is male? Or white? The person might be womansplaining instead of mansplaining for all you know.

Are you assuming they must be white and/or male because they disagree with you?

If so, is this because you consider opinions held by people of a certain skin color or biological sex to be innately inferior to others?

Something to think about.
