@dillyd @inquiline It's freaking exhausting. I give the benefit of the doubt to the people I know here, but if it's a random? Pff. I usually just ignore now. Not worth my energy

The perfectly obvious social phenomena is that those who manifest such phenomena are perfectly oblivious to the obvious.
They might as well be demanding that one explain themselves to themselves...
Which, put that way, is pretty much what mansplainers take as voluntarily normative, explaining their targets to said targets, even especially in the absence of any such demand.
Corollary, indeed.
@inquiline it's seriously so obnoxious.

@stephanie @dillyd @inquiline @inquiline It’s the second ableist discussion I have seen since yesterday , and I’m sure that they are way many more. 🤨
I know about mansplanning, and the others important issues mentioned above, allow me to add ableism! And genuine question do you (you = anyone reading me) take the time sometimes to check some the profiles that answering to you??
Because if you didn’t know that there a lot of autistic on the Fediverse, and I’m one of them. And yes I know that we don’t always mention that we are autistic, but maybe if more people checked the profiles, we will have less ableists threads… 🙃
@adelinej @pathfinder @stephanie @dillyd @inquiline it's even more discouraging to see a professor forgetting that we all have blind spots alongside things we consider "common sense" 
@adelinej I mean. That guy literally asked a 2-pager.. as a reply to an abstract. If he had just clicked on the link instead of complained, none of this would have happened. I don't think that's an autism or ableist thing. @dillyd @inquiline
@stephanie Yep, I have read the thread before commenting, and the comments about this specific comments show how little is known about autism. 🤷♀️
How do I know? I’m autistic and the owner’s of this account is a sweet and caring guy. I’m not defending him because he’s autistic, but because it’s a perfect example of neurotypical ableist behaviour, sorry.
@inquiline "But, as a white man, I've never seen this racism you're talking about. Please give me 5 exemples, with screenshots, and an abstract explaining how it is racist"
When i posted this short 🧵 yesterday, I was reacting to two incidents. One directed at me (in post 2 ⬆️ ), the other not
As there is now discourse about the interaction not directed at me, revisiting (ID's redacted)
Not to encourage more interaction with people in screenshot, but to share additional context for why I was impatient when a demanding reply landed on me
I am not myself subject to racist querying, as a white person--but we can & should *recognize & interrupt this behavior here*
Right there with ya, though perhaps more triggered by the deflection of "so that nonacademics"...
Is a tactic have encountered far too often in my own mentions. Trying to make one's own demands sound justified by putting oneself forward as speaking for what is presented as a subaltern population.
Which serves to further obfuscate that they're expecting strangers on the internwebz to perform like those reading our posts are only doing so because they bought tickets for a show and now can't leave the venue.
[But also, that particular fool had a very "make me a sammich" tone to his demand that only escalated my already brewing annoidness, after just having gotten done telling someone off in my own mentions for similar unsolicited annoyance.]
