Condesexism

The gender neutral term for sexism based condescension. Explaining something in a patronising way because of gender bias.

I created this term because the terms "mansplaining" and "femsplaining" are used too lightly and are sexist terms in their own right. Condescension and sexism are both gender neutral so the word for condescension driven by a sexist standpoint should also be gender neutral.

That explanation was pure condesexism.

Condescension and sexism are both gender neutral so the word for condescension driven by a sexist standpoint should also be gender neutral. Also it is possible to be dismissive and patronising toward someone because of their gender without necessarily explaining something to them. This word can apply to dismissive behaviour and the idea of sexist explaining.

John explained to me how to steer round a corner properly. Such a condesexist.

Jenny explained to me how to multitask better. What a condesexist way to behave.
