Dear Luke,
Speaking about speaking is not speaking, just as talking about designing is not designing and equally, the desire to desire is not desire.
There is a savage irony in the writings of Ursula Le Guin that seems to escape many of her readers.
Equally, the notion of undergrounded rooted communion minus the cacophony of intersectionality ("why does your root go over my root rather than my root going over your root) is savagely ironic.
But hey, all things are possible for those that do not speak, do not act, and yet complain. They cross non-rivers on non-bridges to non-gardens of perfect Eden.

Dear Gunner, and all,
Thanks for your post. As you note the spark from which term ‘mansplaining’ developed comes from Rebecca Solnit’s (2015) essay Men Explain Things to Me. My favourite piece of hers is her essay A Short History of Silence. Here Solnit (2017, p.17) writes “Words bring us together, and silence separates us.” I think the belief expressed in this quote is relevant to this discussion.
Solnit is a wonderful writer and so I have copied below the excerpt from which this quote was taken. It’s worth reading.
