Do you Mansplain? (men)

'Mansplaining' is now very much a thing.

mansplainmanˈspleɪn/verbinformalgerund or present participle: mansplaining

(of a man) explain (something) to someone, typically a woman, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing."I'm listening to a guy mansplain economics to his wife"

The Twitter thingy is ablaze with discussions on it. It comes up on TV and radio. The whole female population is aware of it.

So guys of TSR. Do you mansplain?

If so, why can't you stop yourselves? :teehee:

Is it painful? :sad:

Is there any help?

Do you wish you could stop?

Unfortunately I do. Sometimes I forget that girls are always right and so I stupidly open my mouth and air my views about something. Quite embarrassing really, a girl in the immediate vicinity then puts me in my place.

I think workshops should be available to help people like me.

It's a gift. However, in this thread, I am not so much 'tackling' it, as curious if men find this a toughie themselves. They mostly do such a lot of it, it must be exhausting.

We agree then. Workshops should be provided. :five:

You have passed through Step 1 of 12 - recognising that men are at least not always right. Even though you said it a funny way. :teehee:

My main question is does it really matter?

Mansplaining literally does not exist. Anyone can be patronising, regardless of gender.

Any time I've seen it used, it's by some weird feminist on Twitter who accuses someone she disagrees with of "mansplaining".

It's kind of a bit worse than having flies in your house at mealtimes and a bit less bad than all the pollution in big cities.

In terms of social problem severity, I would assign it 5.8 out of 10. As I generally want to talk about anything over 5, then yeah, I guess it matters.
