Delete

 * 1) There's an article to be made here, one that cites scientific studies about how men and women interact, how arrogance helps men but hurts women, and so on. This article is instead a brief history of "incidents" of mansplaining that does little to defend or debunk the idea. Indeed, several of the "incidents" mentioned are not necessarily mansplaining -- and so our critique of actual mansplaining itself is also weak. This is a poor defense of a potentially-useful concept and poor attack on a potentially-toxic problem. The previous discussion was 6 months ago, and the article has not improved. 04:56, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

 * 1) Voted Keep last time. This time, you got me with: "This is a poor defense of a potentially-useful concept and poor attack on a potentially-toxic problem". Reverend Black Percy (talk) 12:47, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Keep

 * 1) Is fine. Could be better. Hipocrite (talk) 14:58, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * 2) Keep - David Gerard (talk) 18:42, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
 * 3) Keep. Christopher (talk) 18:27, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
 * 4) OP has not bothered, two weeks on, to rewrite the bad parts or to defend his delete reason. Keep. Flannan Isle (talk) 16:05, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
 * My reason is literally that RationalWiki, six months on, has not bothered to rewrite the bad parts of the article. :P 17:14, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

 * 1) If the alleged problem with the article is that it could be good but it is badly written, then the solution is "improve" not "delete".--Bob"Life is short and (insert adjective)" 18:39, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
