Ever had anything mansplained to you? You know, when a guy starts explaining something to (most likely) a woman about something that they very well know themselves in a condescending or patronizing way.

Sure, it is definitely a serious issue, one that hints at sexism and rudeness, among other things, but also one that can be satisfying and even funny—particularly when the one being mansplained to claps back with an educated response that makes the mansplainer rethink their decisions.

In celebration of the recent Valentine’s Day, Twitter user @J_Dot_J asked people what was the most obvious thing that was mansplained to them. Dozens upon dozens of people shared their best mansplaining stories, not only voicing their frustrations, but also pointing out how nobody should ever assume that you don’t know things.

'The Queen's Gambit' comes to mind. I suck at chess, by the way.

Early in our marriage, my husband kept bothering me to play chess, even though I told him I don't enjoy it and didn't want to. He kept insisting and insisting and trying to explain the game to me. I told him I knew HOW to play, I just didn't want to. He just kept on for months. Finally, after about 30 minutes of him explaining his prowess and how to play, again, I agreed to play him. I beat him three times in a row and chess was never mentioned again.

Sorry if I'm missing something, but what are chances that two people who confidently play chess come together for a date and that's exactly how they want to spend their time? And it happened multiple times? Does she date only people who play chess and always invite them to a chess date?

Considering how rarely you see chess sets just sitting around to be played with in public, or places you go for a first date, i wonder how often that really happened to her. I honestly think this is completely made up.

There must be a chess set sitting around AND her date must be not only able to play chess but also interested enough in it to play it on the first date. Because I'd imagine it's not the most popular date activity.

i mean where do those men live? as a kid I loved chess and Judith Polgar (she was was my idol. Women play at the top tier in world. I mean I remember as kid knowing that Polgar was internationally ranked by age 9, beat her first grandmaster at 11 and at 15 became the youngest grandmaster till that point in history. I grew up idolizing her. How can any man who knows anything about Chess not know about Polgar or ever look down at a woman in chess

I was taught how to play chess by an ex-girlfriend, unfortunately I suck at it, but that isn't a reflection of her skill. I used to love watching her at tournaments!

    I was in a cataloguing meeting for work (archive/library) and a junior male staff member proceeded to explain some basic principles of cataloguing to us that he'd 'researched on Google'. Most of the staff in the meeting were middle age or semi-retired women who had been cataloguing literally their entire careers...luckily I was chairing the meeting and was able to cut him off with a 'thanks, and moving on to the next agenda item'

    I wanted to break up with my first boyfriend at 16years old but didn’t know how, I asked friends and I settled on “I need space” which I thought was nice and doesn’t place blame on him. I told him and he got super mad and yelled at me not to call or contact him again, and some other bs and walked off. I yelled back “that’s why I’m doing this!!!” Later, his mom called my house to speak to me and my mom bc her son was depressed and (don’t recall exact words) she was afraid he would harm himself & not to break up w/ him.

    I've assisted in a few of these (taking the x-rays) and none of the patients seemed to be in any pain at all, so I have to admit, I thought it was a fairly easy procedure, but I've seen a couple of comments about how painful it was, so it seems I was wrong. Maybe it's only painless if there is no blockage? That was the case in all the exams I witnessed.

    Medical pain dictionary - 1) Won't feel a thing = will be uncomfortable. 2) Might be uncomfortable = will hurt. 3) Will hurt a little = will be painful. 4) Will be painful for a short moment = is effing agony so give me a general anaesthetic thanks. Apologies if I've missed some 😬

    You know, they could always preface their remarks with something like “I’ve never served, but have known people who have, and this is my impression of military service—-please correct me if I’m wrong”. The caveat is that, after saying that, you must be very open to listening to, and being corrected by, the veteran. But this would be a respectful, diplomatic, non-mansplaining, and non-confrontational way to conduct the conversation. Of course, since men are responsible for the wars we’ve fought throughout history, it’s not really their style, is it? (Apologies to all reasonable, diplomatic men, btw, you are not the problem. But your unenlightened bros are.)

    Best instructional comment I ever heard, "A man has to know his limitations". Because of that, I am fully aware that a lot of men have no clue about their limitations.

    Mine did that while eating breakfast. I couldn't get any, was hungry and in pain. And he just kept on telling me : "Oohh, there's an other one coming" with his mouth full. But he supported me though all of them even as I crushed his fingers by squeezing his hand really Really REALLY hard.

    That could be handy if you were using nitrous oxide for pain relief! You need to start sucking on the gas at the first sign of a contract. I was a midwife for many years, I would make visitors eat away from my labouring Mums. Mind you, if our labouring mothers wanted to eat, we would let them.

    My husband's only complaint that he had when I gave birth to our son was that we'd wasted several weeks on Lamas classes when everything we learned went right out the window since I never allowed him near me. He said that, instead of teaching women how to breathe and endure the pain, they should just have a doctor come in and say "This is how we do an epidural...."

    I got a C in art once for ‘plagiarising’ Devil Wears Prada (had just come out at the time). We had to design a shoe. I made mine into a dragon with a tail going up the leg and scales all over looking like fire. All the work showed it was inspired by Smaug from The Hobbit. The art teacher who was ALSO and English teacher said what’s the hobbit? Who’s Tolkien? Said I was lying and still gave me a C for ‘plagiarising’ Devil Wears Prada 🤦🏼‍♀️

    I once had to deliver a verbal book report. We kids were given 3 books to choose from. The most popular girl in school went before me. Like me, she chose Flowers in the Attic. Only, her report was based on the movie (very different). Even though I'd read the book & worked hard on my report, I was afraid of the consequences of making the popular girl look bad (and possibly causing her to fail). I stumbled, stammered & sounded like an idiot because my report was on a movie I hadn't yet seen. Thirty years later & I'm still mad at myself for tanking my report just so the popular girl could save face & I wouldn't be bullied.

    Comes from a lifetime of being both automatically put in positions of power and authority, then paying no consequences and being allowed to keep those positions even when dead—-and deadly, for other people—-wrong. In situations where a woman in the same position would be fired, jailed, run out of town on a rail—-after being mansplained as to why.

He and her husband both laughed like hyenas. My sister's jaw dropped & she was literally speechless. My sister was a medical billing specialist.

    I am 45yrs old and am in full blown menopause. I started peri menopause when I was 38-39yrs old. I had a man child explain menopause and proceed to tell me that it is impossible for a woman to start it that young and to be in menopause at my age. While it is not common it does happen and my last period was actually almost 6yrs ago. He said it was something else and insisted that the Gynecologist was wrong due to her being a woman and I NEED TO SEE A MALE DOCTOR to be correctly diagnosed. I had blood work done and am currently on hormone therapy. Kicker....... this Man/Child was 22yrs old and was going to college for a degree in physical education. LMFAO SMH

    The decade-ish of hormone fluctuations and intermittent periods that leads up to menopause. It's when thermoregulation gets weird - you can be freezing in the middle of summer, then suddenly sweating balls and bright red because of a hot flash. Basically perimenopause is what people think is menopause, and menopause is when it's over.

    I can vouch for this. I have a herding dog & its my 1st one so its been a REAL learning experience. I can train him all i want & pay top dollar for obedience BUT he will probably always be a bit nippier than other dogs & i will probably always have to watch him around smaller &/or more submissive dogs. Hes not aggressive or mean at all. He just knows that his brain says to "put everything & everyone in order" so he does. The more i intervene, the more crazed he gets about it.

    One of my dogs is part Catahoula (and part Husky and part American Dingo). She nearly killed me one day. I was taking her out to do her business, and there was a rabbit in the yard.

    I had a professor that met Margaret Mead when he was young. She always walked everywhere with a heavy walking stick He said that they were walking along talking and he said something very sexist and inaccurate. He said the next thing he knew, his feet were knocked out from underneath him, he was on his back on the ground and she was standing over him with a few choice words. That's when he learned that just because it's on the brain doesn't mean it should come out of your mouth.

    NEVER explain D&D to someone unless they ask you to. It's surprising how many people tried to do that to me a few years back. That and the "You don't look like the sort of guy who watches Marvel movies". I'm CONSTANTLY talking about superheroes. I wear superhero merch. I have stickers all over my boards and helmet. I ramble about video games constantly. Of course, I watch Marvel, play games, and enjoy some D&D every now and then.

Now mind you this is what I remember reading about it and I haven't done the research in ages so I could be off.

    I'm an archaeologist doing some lab work in a museum. I walked by a couple of male patrons. The tall one asked if I worked there. I said yes. He asked how the museum could blatantly lie that humans are older than 10,000 years old and make up a fake "guy". It was a display model of an EMH, Early Modern Human (what most know as Cro-Magnum). And for you Star Trek fans not the doctor on Voyager. He stormed off. I have a new respect for EMH...I suspect they were wiser than some of his future relatives.

    I worked for attorneys for 22 years. One time a three-year practicing attorney was looking for a plea on a criminal case. I advised him it's called an Alford plea, he argued with me, continued to try to think of what he believed it's called and then proceeded to get a book to find the answer. Which was.

    That much water could actually be dangerous. That would work out to about a liter per hour over 24 hours. More like 1.5 if drunk over 16 hours. More than most people's kidneys can handle. you'd be looking at potential water toxicity. I've seen people advocating drinking a gallon of water a day, not 6.25 gallons a day. That's over 50lbs of water. No matter what he thinks he heard from the esteemed health experts of Nickelodeon, you'd think a few seconds and some quick mental math would tell him that he heard wrong. Of course, to do that, he'd have to be able to regard the possibility that he could be wrong.

    You can't say something like that without telling us to pronounce it! I would probably pronounce it the same as 'Worcester'!

    It is pronounced the same as Worcester. Wuss-ter, and it's Wusstershur sauce, not war-ster-shy-er sauce.

    I live near there. It's pronounced "Wuster" by locals. We can always tell where someone lives in Ohio by how they say the city's name.

    I used to piss off my Cleveland friend by saying "Wooooster." He never got a sense of humor about it: "Wusster! WUSSTER!!" He could never let it go. Cleveland has a weird accent.

    I grew up in New England, and attended the College of Wooster (for a whole semester and a half! I wasn't a good student.) I always pronounced it the same as Worcester, Mass., but some of the folks who were from around there went more for the "woo-ster" pronunciation. Especially the people from Cleveland - but they have weird accents anyway (I was born in Cleveland). I used to have a t-shirt that said "Wooster isn't in Massachusetts", on the front, and "Thank God" on the back.

    Yes there is. Refresh your browser. Sometimes they then show again. I can see 8 comments under the one I'm writing now, if it helps to know what you're not seeing. Just wish people would stop doing the space-wasting 'covering' comments. People clearly don't like it (all the downvotes) and it isn't anyone else's decision what people look at. Bored Panda hides the comment when downvoted more than 3 times, that is enough.

    A bit odd he felt the need to explain it to you as if you didn’t know, but maybe he was just trying to relate? I dunno, seems more like he was trying to “fit in” as it were rather than look down on you...? 🤷🏻‍♀️🙂

    It seems like that to me, but I also get where the mansplaining part came from. Now I'm confused.

    I doubt he was trying to explain it. I feel he was more likely voicing his support.

    A friend of mine was so excited about how WW was portrayed as such a strong woman, blah, blah and if he had a daughter, he make sure she watched this. Meanwhile, "Hidden Figures" was also playing at the time, which was more impressive. Women who really worked in the space program vs. a character who needs CGI to be impressive while wearing a bustier and boots.

    I was home alone and trying to replace my DR ceiling light with a fan/light. I used a barstool to hold it up while I did the wiring but quickly realized I couldn't hold it up and mount it by myself. Wanted to surprise my husband by having it done when he got home so went and asked my really lovely & handy 80 year old neighbor to assist. He promptly tells me the wiring is all wrong, redoes it and blows ALL the sockets out in my living room/dining room. Had to hire an electrician to fix it. He was so embarrassed & offered to pay which, of I declined. He had helped me so many times with other things and he was just a fantastic neighbor. But it was funny nevertheless.

    Stupid “response” on the husband’s part, but an electrician will recognize that it may be appropriate to connect a black and a white wire, depending on the switch(s) wiring(s). (female electrician here)
