Hahaha... I think that approach is a polite way of saying "I am so fucking tired of explaining what I do to people who I assume aren't going to absorb this information or react the way I want to. If you're curious, there are resources avaliable; learn it on your own goddamn time."*
So yes, it's partially a lack of understanding of the left brain, and partially that we're just really fucking tired that feminism 101 and anti-racism 101 isn't innately understood by people when it's been explained so often. I think the prevailing attitude today is why should I worry about bending around your brain?
*I am totally a feminist and have said this after being baited and yelled at. Often.
