Sad shit. Men should just go to work, hand over the wallet to the partner, and shut up and do the housework.
"mansplaining".

Sweden is ahead of us in so many areas, but unfortunately when it comes to gender stuff they often seem to take things to the next level of absurdity. I'm all for feminism, but this kind of stuff just seems like a silly distraction to me (oops, I guess I'm mansplaining now ).
I guess I can see that it's useful to have a term for men speaking patronisingly to women (although I've been spoken to patronisingly so many times in my life by men and women that I'm not sure this is exactly a gendered phenomenon). It seems, though, that more than a few internet feminists have pretty much extended it to mean any instance of sharing a dissenting opinion on a topic while male. Of course, if you accuse them of being patronising, you're likely to be accused of 'tone policing'. And if you express your frustration at any of this (as I'm doing now), you might just be mocked for shedding 'male tears'. It's pretty infuriating. 
I sometimes think all these terms have been invented solely in order to win arguments on the internet.

Yes David!
Patronising behaviour is most certainly not exclusively a male to female thing that's for sure and I don't think this nonsense is actually helpful - in a way it promotes " women are victims" mentality and distracts from real issues.
As a female I find this embarrassing - I would have considered myself a feminist but not like the current crop of numpty ravers who don't seem to actually be interested in equality which is what I thought it was about - no they are just abusive and refuse to acknowledge any male point of view remotely

I'm with you on all parts except the bit about Sweden being ahead of us in many ways.
I have to explain shit to people several times per day in ways that could be described as patronising, it has zero to do with their gender and 100% to do with their comprehension.
Having a tertiary education doesn't mean you aren't a fkn idiot.
