Is there some reason why "womansplained" is not a disgustingly bigoted term?

If not, is there some reason why any sort of double standard is not a disgustingly bigoted act?

No, not really. The very act of calling it "reverse sexism" denies the reality that sexism is sexism no matter who does it.

That being said, whoever chose a man to do that cover, for that book, was too stupid to be allowed out of the house, let alone into a publishing job.

The difference is that men are the privileged group, not women.

I'm pretty sure you're not seeing my point. This just maintains the hostilities. It tends to be difficult to pay attention to the legitimate grievances of someone who is shooting indiscriminately at everyone on your side of the table.
