“Every woman knows what I’m talking about,” wrote the author Rebecca Solnit in her hugely influential portion of the essay “Men Explain Things To Me” which first appeared in the 2008 Los Angeles Times. It’s when the concept of ‘mansplaining’ was born, and it refers to men explaining something to a woman in a condescending, overconfident, and often inaccurate manner without being asked to do so.
According to Solnit, men explaining things to women is not an innocent act, but rather it trains them into self-limitation and self-doubt, and further fuels men’s unsupported confidence.
Fast forward to today, and women around the world still find themselves being mansplained to like it was no big deal. So when Twitter user Priscilla tweeted a question “What’s the dumbest thing that’s ever been mansplained to you?” it immediately went viral with 340.2K likes.
It turned out she was far from the only one whose “husband let her know their home was 'up ahead on the left'” when she was driving. Many more women joined the thread to share their experiences of men lecturing them, and if it’s not illuminating, I don’t know what is.

Right after I ask the Home Depot guy what made him think my brother would be able to use it properly, and since when it's his job to deny service to customers who he "thinks" wouldn't be able to use the product, since when it's his job to determine which customer would be able to use which products and on hand wich criteria he does that, how he knows that I'm buying it for myself to use ... so many questions

I felt this one! I'm a middle-aged lady renovating my kitchen myself and will only have to hire out the lighting and countertop. I've been going to big box hardware and tile stores a couple times a week since before Christmas. The number of times I've been looking for a specific type of item and had the employee cluelessly look at a product and read the label out loud to me has been astonishing. Like, I might not know which hinge type will work with my antique cabinets, but shouldn't the expert working on the kitchen department actually try to help me? And when I met with the tile person and asked about difficulty of installing different styles, they continually told me that the contractor would know how, even after I kept saying I was the one doing the installation. YouTube has been the the best source of information. Much better than the blank stares of incomprehension I get when a tiny female is asking questions about advantages of one type of power tool vs another.

As a woman who does everything around the house from electrical work, plumbing, tiling, framing, etc.....I hate Home Depot male staff. I don't even bother asking for help anymore. I usually just get met with "do you have someone at home that can use those tools/ materials?" Or other comments that assume I don't know the right side of a hammer

Even without the whole sexism thing, what kind of person would just lie and say they don't stock something because they think their customer - a functioning adult - wouldn't be able to handle it properly, because it's 'too complicated'? And when the product isn't, like, a chainsaw or something. That's just dumb

Reminds me of the time I took a male friend auto shopping. Parked my Jeep just outside the showroom. I built it for serious off-roading and anyone watching through the wraparound glass walls could see that I got out of the driver's side of the vehicle. The n*b of a salesman goes out, looks it over and starts talking to MY FRIEND about trading it in! I said, "No - he's not trading in MY Jeep." Last time I ever set foot in that dealership too. Edit: for clarification. my friend was also wearing nice pants/shoes and a sleek black leather jacket, while I was wearing jeans/work boots and a barn coat. Um...duh?

Bored Panda reached out to the writer, designer, and content creator Priscilla Kavanaugh, who’s the person behind this viral Twitter thread. Priscilla, who runs the blog “Bonjouritchesblog.com,” believes that the reasons for mansplaining have to do with “boys and young men who are empowered in different ways than girls and young women.”
For example, “Girls are taught to 'be nice,' while boys are taught to be fearless.” “Of course,” she added, “it's not as black and white as that, but I think that's a big chunk. We have a lot of work to do!”
When asked what she thinks is the best reaction you can give if you're mansplained to, Priscilla said that her go-to in a sticky situation is “to make a joke, which surely isn't always the best route.” She also stressed that it’s really difficult to be prepared simply because “you never know when you'll find yourself being mansplained to.”

An older male gynecologist tried to explain to me, that all my pains are imaginary (it was a 2 week follow-up appointment after I was delivered to the same hospital unconscious from my period pain with my pants all soaked in blood and pain medication not working) and that I should see I psychiatrist instead or try other methods to seek attention from people, so I would not disturb doctors. "Periods are not that bad" - he said, "Look at men, we don't have to imagine sickness to get attention" - he said. Took some time to get the right diagnosis. It was not in my head.
That doesn’t change the fact that mansplaining is indeed an inherently wrong practice. “Mansplaining is extremely demeaning. Being mansplained to makes one feel 'less than,' and as if one's knowledge isn't worth respecting. Over time, it creates patterns of silence—women simply stop advocating for themselves or sharing ideas because it's exhausting.”
And when it comes to her Twitter thread, Priscilla said that she truly realized that mansplainers “know no boundaries.” On the other hand, “I also learned that there are men out there that are open to learning and trying to put a stop to their own mansplaining; that was very encouraging.”
Thanks to her thread going viral, Priscilla has also interacted with a lot of women who had tons of interesting perspectives. “I asked many of them if I could share their stories in a book, and the response I got was overwhelmingly positive. I really hope I can get it published someday. I think it could be a fun, useful tool for shifting this behavior.”
American writer Rebecca Solnit, whose 2008 essay “Men Explain Things to Me” helped to give birth to the term “mansplaining,” helped to define the phenomenon with which too many women could relate. Translated into multiple languages, the text inspired many memes, parodies, and ongoing discussions on whether the term has actually done more harm than good.
When asked about what Solnit thinks of the term today, the writer told The Washington Post recently that “I used to focus on its negatives: It does get used too broadly at times, and it can imply that anything men hold forth on is mansplaining.”

I recommend to use the heaviest frying pan but she most likely would do this anyway.
Having said that, the author added that women have been pointing out the incredible value in the term, which helped to describe “an experience most women have but didn’t have terminology for, beyond generics like patronizing, presumptuous, and so forth.”
“I often talk about the importance of calling things by their true name, of the value of precise description, so I’m pleased to have inspired a word that is now in many languages, including, recently, Icelandic,” Solnit commented.
In 2018, another author and design executive Kim Goodwin went viral with a chart she created to help to show men if they were mansplaining or not. Her “Am I Mansplaining?” chart has amassed 124.5k likes and 58.9k retweets on Twitter.
While drawing the chart, Kim realized “the '-splaining' part comes down to three factors.” First, it’s all about whether “they want the explanation?” She proceeds to explain further: “If someone asks you a question, explain away! Unsolicited explanations may be fine (within reason) if you’re someone’s teacher or manager. Explaining after they’ve declined your help is almost always disrespectful.”
Secondly, you should ask yourself if you “Are you making bad assumptions about competence?” According to Kim, “explaining things to knowledgeable people isn’t just wasting everyone’s time, and you may, regardless of your intent, undermine them by implying you don’t trust their competence or intelligence.” Moreover, “You also run the risk of undermining yourself by looking like you have an inflated opinion of your own knowledge.”
And thirdly, Kim asks “How does bias affect your interpretation of the above?” since “both questions are complicated by sexism and other kinds of bias.” According to her, we’re all taught gender bias from an early age, “with boys and girls being criticized and praised for different behaviors in school.”
Even though we like to think that we treat people in a fair manner, it’s not often the case. “Men often assume women are less competent, and white people are likely to assume darker skin equals lower intelligence,” Kim concluded.

Ultimate mansplain: A male telling me what my monthly cramps feel like, after I described them. I used words like "agony, nausea" and was told "pain and discomfort" was what I felt. And that was an OB/GYN. No. Pain and discomfort is "i twisted my ankle". My cramps are *I throw up can't eat nausea-inducing doubled-over agony*. (FYI: No, I can't get a hysterectomy.

Sometimes I have to explain something over email, and it would be a shorter explanation if the reader knew some piece of background information, but I don't know if they know that tidbit. To avoid an email back and forth, I want to explain that tidbit just in case they don't know it. So, I'll say something like, "I don't know if you know xyz. If you do, I'm sorry. Xyz is...." Or maybe I'll say, "You probably know this, and if you do, I'm sorry for writing this out. Xyz is...." In person, I just ask, "Do you know about xyz?" or "You know about xyz, right?" I'm not sure if that counts as mansplaning if the person I'm addressing is a woman.
N G 3 years ago
No it doesn't count. You're establishing baseline knowledge, which is a respectful thing to do - especially acknowledging that they may already know it, but clarifying in case they don't. It's not automatically mansplaining just because you are a man addressing a woman. ...And I feel like I've just womansplained mansplaining! Can't we make just a little progress in inherent sexism, please?

One guy from IT treated me as silly little woman who doesn't need to know how anything works. Once at a meeting I asked a question, to which he replied, in a mocking tone: "Why would you even need to know that?" to which I replied: "Dunno, maybe to take your position?". He got all red and didn't say a word. And never disrespected me again.

Yep, these are, many of them, the worst examples. But lesser examples happen on a daily basis - if not moreso. Women are raised in a society that wants women to be quiet, not to confront and not to appear 'too smart' The only qualities women are rewarded for are caring skills and looking good. Set that against how men are raised ie stand up for yourself, learn new things, be confident (even when you have nothing to be confident about and are, frankly, scared) society has a lot to answer for and we are society, it's our job to make sure the next generation learns to do better. Of course there's STILL no excuse for being an asshole and the above examples are all assholes. Many mansplainers genuinely think they're being helpful and aren't deliberately being assholes - I can deal with that, just not the toxic type as shown above..

By calling misogynic behaviour "mansplaining", and by also calling some occurences where people simply were jerks (likely gender notwithstanding), you marginalize real misogynic behaviour. Additionally, you legitimate sexism, as the term mansplaining suggests that all men commonly "teach" women unjustifiedly, which is a sexistic stereotype.

When i was younger (25yo) i was the chief of staff of the mayor. He asked me to handle something with an old "worthy" man. This man was infuriated because a young 1,50m woman would not be able to follow his case. He told the mayor and his reply was epic. "if you are not OK with my chief of staff don't waste her time then because she is a very busy woman, i need her a lot". I met the CEO of a worldknown dentalproducts brand instead of the mayor and he was fine with it, thanking me deeply for my time after the meeting. So fun that it's always the less important people who are self entitled. Even with a fine mayor it was an awful job because you have to deal with a lot of crap. That's basically your job to deal with crap. "What do you do for a living?" - "i'm a bullshit umbrella".

I had been the one to shut off the breakers after my boyfriend tried to put out the fire, only to have it spark right back up because there was still electricity going through the wires. He was condescending to me overall but that just took the cake. Like there hadn't been 15 people who had looked and fiddled with the breakers after the fire...no, I just didn't know the difference between an active and tripped breaker in my own house. I got him fired from both working on my house and the renovation company.

Came back with a Ford Part Number he "Correctly" managed to get and asked me to get it. Simply said gladly but I need the last 8 of the VIN to order it, my policy. Gets it and I asked what the part was. Guys tells me and it's right just order it. Me being a wise ass with these kind I run the VIN and part number he gave.

That sounds super cool! I really hate mansplaining, its so humiliating to be treated as if you are stupid just for having boobs. I am a biologist and the person who does the gardening at home. My partner knows nothing about plants to the point that some years ago I needed to explain him that its not a coincidence that our tomatoes are always in the same branch as the flowers were. He didnt know that fertilized flowers turn into fruit. But he keeps mansplaining me how to do the gardening. Sometimes I want to strangle him.

Ultimate mansplain: A male telling me what my monthly cramps feel like, after I described them. I used words like "agony, nausea" and was told "pain and discomfort" was what I felt. And that was an OB/GYN. No. Pain and discomfort is "i twisted my ankle". My cramps are *I throw up can't eat nausea-inducing doubled-over agony*. (FYI: No, I can't get a hysterectomy. First, the HMO won't cover, and then I was too closet o menopause age. So i suffer for... years. Yay.)

Though I would not call it mansplaining, I hate it when I´m talking about video games I enjoy playing and someone decides to explain them to me. Happened with Final Fantasy, Dishonored, Skyrim, and of course, Bioshock. When I asked about the connection to Ayn Rand they had no idea what I meant. Never mind being told by men (and yes, only men), that tattoos hurt and women can´t handle the pain. So women only get small and cute stuff. Just... no.

Sometimes I have to explain something over email, and it would be a shorter explanation if the reader knew some piece of background information, but I don't know if they know that tidbit. To avoid an email back and forth, I want to explain that tidbit just in case they don't know it. So, I'll say something like, "I don't know if you know xyz. If you do, I'm sorry. Xyz is...." Or maybe I'll say, "You probably know this, and if you do, I'm sorry for writing this out. Xyz is...." In person, I just ask, "Do you know about xyz?" or "You know about xyz, right?" I'm not sure if that counts as mansplaning if the person I'm addressing is a woman.

No it doesn't count. You're establishing baseline knowledge, which is a respectful thing to do - especially acknowledging that they may already know it, but clarifying in case they don't. It's not automatically mansplaining just because you are a man addressing a woman. ...And I feel like I've just womansplained mansplaining! Can't we make just a little progress in inherent sexism, please?

I once had a slightly different experience in my previous job. But it fits here. We had a large project involving me as an end user, our IT department, IT department on client's side, and their production team. One guy from IT treated me as silly little woman who doesn't need to know how anything works. Once at a meeting I asked a question, to which he replied, in a mocking tone: "Why would you even need to know that?" to which I replied: "Dunno, maybe to take your position?". He got all red and didn't say a word. And never disrespected me again.

Yep, these are, many of them, the worst examples. But lesser examples happen on a daily basis - if not moreso. Women are raised in a society that wants women to be quiet, not to confront and not to appear 'too smart' The only qualities women are rewarded for are caring skills and looking good. Set that against how men are raised ie stand up for yourself, learn new things, be confident (even when you have nothing to be confident about and are, frankly, scared) society has a lot to answer for and we are society, it's our job to make sure the next generation learns to do better. Of course there's STILL no excuse for being an asshole and the above examples are all assholes. Many mansplainers genuinely think they're being helpful and aren't deliberately being assholes - I can deal with that, just not the toxic type as shown above..

We had a chemical disaster in my town and i was attending a conference about it the day after. I saw that in the news pictures the firefighters doesn't had the proper device on to deal with one chemical. I ask the prefect (governor) if the firefighters were wearing the proper device (i knew that the answer was" no"). His answer was: "Yes, of course, you are a firefighter wife?", "No sir, just a scientist..." . Not really mansplaining but assuming i was a "WIFE" and not a qualified person on the subject.

By calling misogynic behaviour "mansplaining", and by also calling some occurences where people simply were jerks (likely gender notwithstanding), you marginalize real misogynic behaviour. Additionally, you legitimate sexism, as the term mansplaining suggests that all men commonly "teach" women unjustifiedly, which is a sexistic stereotype.

This isn't an entirely man-to-woman type of thing. But I think it's always a man doing the explanation. I worked a second job part-time at an auto parts store for many years. I would often get men interjecting themselves into conversations that they were not originally a part of to offer their expert advice. Almost always, this advice was just plain wrong. I had one customer giving such bad advice that I had to stop him and tell him that he was wrong. He proceeded to say that he had been working on cars for 40 years. He asked me what made me such an expert. I had to show him my ASE wallet card. I am an ASE certified master technician with over 20 years of experience (at that time)

When i was younger (25yo) i was the chief of staff of the mayor. He asked me to handle something with an old "worthy" man. This man was infuriated because a young 1,50m woman would not be able to follow his case. He told the mayor and his reply was epic. "if you are not OK with my chief of staff don't waste her time then because she is a very busy woman, i need her a lot". I met the CEO of a worldknown dentalproducts brand instead of the mayor and he was fine with it, thanking me deeply for my time after the meeting. So fun that it's always the less important people who are self entitled. Even with a fine mayor it was an awful job because you have to deal with a lot of crap. That's basically your job to deal with crap. "What do you do for a living?" - "i'm a bullshit umbrella".

Recently had an electrician tell me and proceed to show me that the circuit breaker popped when we had a house fire after I had told him it needed to be checked because it hadn't (it was an electrical fire caused by illegal wiring installed by someone previous). I had been the one to shut off the breakers after my boyfriend tried to put out the fire, only to have it spark right back up because there was still electricity going through the wires. He was condescending to me overall but that just took the cake. Like there hadn't been 15 people who had looked and fiddled with the breakers after the fire...no, I just didn't know the difference between an active and tripped breaker in my own house. I got him fired from both working on my house and the renovation company. Not just for his rude ass attitude towards me but because he and his crew were smoking in my house and threw the butts on the exposed wood underlayment upstairs. Jerks.
