'Gender Bias Expert' Accuses JD Vance of 'Mansplaining' at Debate, It Goes Downhill for Her From There

As we've documented, there were several clips from Tuesday night's vice presidential debate that should be played on a loop by anyone who wanted to see Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz get his patootie handed to him on a national stage once and for all.

In one, we saw Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) smoke Walz on the issue of the economy and jobs, schooling him on how the "experts" Walz said our leaders should be listening to so frequently get it wrong.

"You say trust the experts, but those same experts 40 years ago said that if we shipped our manufacturing base off to China, we'd get cheaper goods," Vance said. "They lied about that. They said if we shipped our industrial base off to other countries, to Mexico and elsewhere, it would make the middle class stronger. They were wrong about that. "

Another great moment came when Vance refused to be silenced by the CBS News debate moderators who falsely "fact-checked" him on the Haitian migrant crisis in Springfield, Ohio even though the rules of the debate were that the moderators wouldn't fact check.

"The rules were that you guys weren’t going to fact-check, and since you’re fact-checking me, I think it’s important to say what’s actually going on," Vance told them as he proceeded to make his case. He did so well on it that his mic was cut because we can't have any inconvenient truths slipping out, can we?

It was an important, necessary flag-planting moment in the debate for Vance. But to some so-called "feminists," Vance asserting himself by correcting the two female moderators, Norah O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan, was the definition of "mansplaining."

As Exhibit A, we have Amy Diehl, Ph.D., a self-proclaimed "gender bias expert" who became very fauxfended over Vance's fact check of the moderators. Here's what she wrote on the Twitter/X machine:

"JD Vance talking over the female moderators. We women have all been there. Overtalked by an entitled mansplainer."

Her tweet quickly got ratioed as Twitter users took her to task for the lame (and false) accusation.

Relatedly, there was also MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace, who tried to suggest that Vance standing his ground against the moderators would be a turn off to women.

"I actually think if you're a woman, that might be the worst moment JD Vance had, because he was going to mansplain right over that mute button," she proclaimed. "I think that a lot of women in positions of authority that should command respect just by virtue of that dynamic will see themselves, and some do, the disrespect of them and talked over."

Umm, no. This is such a dumb line of argument that it makes my head hurt. It just sets women and the progress they've made back decades. And all over what? An inability/unwillingness to handle the truth or a different opinion?

It is not "mansplaining" when you correct someone for misleading people and/or stating a falsehood, whether it happened during a heated exchange or not. Vance wouldn't be accused of "mansplaining" had he done that to male moderators and he shouldn't be accused of it because the biased moderators in this case happened to be women.

I mean that's what true "equality" is supposed to mean, right?

Amy is the person who gets corrected in literature or a faculty meeting for claiming that 2+2=5 and her response is to play the victim of mansplaining.

Gender equality or demanding to be treated like a special snowflake who can’t be corrected. Pick one. https://t.co/R5uI1izjSB

MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace’s claim that JD Vance was “mansplaining” at the debate is very insulting to women — to suggest we’re too fragile to handle criticism.

If you cry “mansplaining” in response to being corrected when you’re wrong, you don’t deserve to be in the arena. pic.twitter.com/E5ZBAjXDvM

And as others correctly pointed out, the "mansplaining" card has simply become a disgraceful prop at this point for leftist women who don't want themselves and other like-minded women to be held accountable in the court of public opinion:

Any woman who uses the term “mansplaining” should be shunned from society.

It’s a term used by women to escape any kind of accountability. https://t.co/16MgtJmImZ
