"Mansplaining" is just another made up words by man hating feminists to cause further diversion a bitterness between the sexes. It's not enough for them to call condescending people "condescending assholes", no, they need to break it down to condescending men being "
Mansplaining", and condescending women being... I guess empowerment, since said women who believe in this crap are the most condescending women in society.
I would won't call them "womansplainers", I prefer to to just call them assholes, for I believe in equality of that nature.

I wouldn’t say it is as common in my life as some make it out to be, but it’s there. I think women can do it too. I think it’s a bit related to the trait of dominance which is generally more present in men. I would say I’m not good at telling when it happens just because I’m already a huge pushover and I get stepped on by everyone.
I would only say it’s happening if a guy does it to exclusively women, and multiple times. If he interrupts everyone alike just to explain a thing to them and treats everyone the same while explaining, that’s just who he is. And I think that’s the case most of the time. I don’t think a lot of guys have a super condescending attitude towards women nowadays. I wouldn’t say it’s the majority at all. If mainsplaining was more prevalent before, I would say it’s definitely very uncommon now from my experience.
Mansplaining is, unfortunately real. However, a lot of what people claim to be mansplaining is not. When a man overexplains something to a woman, that he should reasonably know she fully understands, because he just assumes he knows more about it because of his gender, THAT is mansplaining. My dad does this a lot; for example, yesterday he was explaining to me how menstruation works, and he was incorrect about some of it, so I corrected him, and he insisted I was wrong and kept explaining my own hormone cycle to me. That is mansplaining. A man simply articulating or giving a detailed explanation is not. The term is becoming misused
The phenomenon of men being insensitive to women and lacking self awareness about it (like explaining to them about stuff like pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding etc.) is of course very real, it exists, people being assholes is a real thing.
As for the feminazi self-victimizing term of "mansplaining", which they use whenever a man dares to disagree with them - no, it doesn't exist and nobody in their right mind should give it any legitimacy or validation. In 2021, if you are for gender equality and women empowerment - you are against feminazism.

Oh my god. Mansplaining is extremely real. Its not only man to female, its far far worse when a man does it to a man... My photo suggests im female, but trans. At work in a male dominated industry I have a very different look and man attitude!!. I could go ballistic on a retarded mansplainer... These fucking guys are mental for real. It would be like a clueless bitch of a man, half my age, truly ignorant, inexperienced and frankly just stupid, going way out their way to approach me for no reason, and mentally starts mansplaining something to me. My response, who the fuck are you, and get the fuck away from me!!! Right now you little ignorant prick. These ego driven nut jobs. There's no way to explain their psychosis. They are type of people who constantly feel the need to give unwanted and unwarranted advice or correction.. when they're the ones insane in their heads. Its so bad that males are mansplaining to males. These people are control freaks. One example in the trucking industry. Construction quad axle dump truck. We call them super truckers. Kiss ass loud mouth buffoons. The type to get lost in his own mind, let alone mansplain directions to me. Doing it faster and a better route than him.. I dont know what it is. Egocentric, shortcoming in denial over masculine sexist freaks that is so bad, they need to do it to another man. Its pathetic and sad to be honest. They feel the need to inject themselves into anyone. Its like a wife beater going way out of their way to mansplain how I should treat my wife. Better way of saying, you're in the middle of nowhere doing your job perfectly on top of your game.. When suddenly out of nowhere a guy appears. ? Starts mansplaining to me anything absurd you could dream up. Its really about going way out of your way saying why don't you do this or that and in this way... like sir why are you on my property in the first place or my personal space. They are lofty ego driven mental nut jobs. How does one explain its exactly sexist to both genders. Thats an anomaly hard to explain. It borderline bullying like the bully never grew up from 4th grade, now at 50 yo. I really hope I answered your question, because mansplaining men are clueless pathetic disgusting men that need serious psychological help.
Explanations can either be wrong or right, wanted or unwanted, and you will either reject them or politely correct them. That's all there is to it.
"Mansplain" sounds like a sexist term to dismiss opinions and explanations provided by men based on how a woman "feels" about that explanation.I don't think it makes sense, and I think that people are pretending that women don't use up extra space.
Every time I have asked a man/large teen to make room for me, they have, and always with great manners.Men aren't always the best at social cues, and typically are more likely to be nerds and fall in the aspergers spectrum.
As such, we can see social interactions as purely exchanges of concrete information, failing to understand the relationship.
So no. Men aren't condescending when we explain things, we just assume that the interacting is an exchange of hard data, and don't tune in to the 'social' and 'relationship' side of things.
We just think that there was hard information that the listener would be interested in and so go through it. "... That was because the french revolution was happening in 1890" When dealing with men, try to think about whether or not the information itself interests you before worrying about the one upmanship or the hierarchy.As much as I wish it wasn't. it's a legit thing and I have been mansplained to with subjects like how the female body works and how to do pro audio while I was actually doing pro audio, and all of his "advice" was completely wrong.
Please do not tell me how to do my job unless you're also a professional in the business and can prove it.yea i don't use the term a lot but like for example a guy telling me how i should act as a "lady" even though he's not a lady or like some guy tried to tell me how boobs work even though a) he had no boobs and b) i've had a fair amount of boobs for years
Yeah. I’ve had guys mansplain everything from how arousal works for women, to how I feel about marriage.
No it's bullshit. That's a way of saying "I don't have a legitimate counterpoint, therefore I will rather just degrade you."
The good news, if a woman accuses you of 'mansplaining', then you know 2 things. 1. You won whatever the argument was. 2. She's a woke SJW, snowflake, weirdo bitch and it's not worth your time getting to know her.Yes I’ve had times were guys were trying to explain something to me that I already know and it’s always super simple stuff too
But when they do this I was just shut them down and say yeah I know and keep going because I don’t like that and I find it very rude.
I’m not sure if I would call it mansplaining though, i’ve met plenty of annoying know it all and I’m better than U ass women that do this too.Kinda worrying about how many guys said no to this. But then again there is a lot of sexist guys here so adds up who would be the people who do this then so no it don't happen.
Of course it happens. ya see it happen all the time "let me tell you why you upset women cause your not married and haven't found a good christian man yet" Blah blah.I would never use that word because I want to be taken seriously as a woman. But I just say that the man is a condescending prick and he probably is that way to other men too. If they are a douche to me because they are sexist I call it out for what it is , they are just a sexist prick , and there is no use to use a made up word. Because I can beat them with my wits , if needed be.
Yeah, there are some guys who do it a lot at work. Usually it happens in meetings and they assume I don’t know something (that I’m an expert in) and then dumb it down a lot as if I’m stupid. It wastes a lot of time in meetings so I have to cut their monologue short and get back to the topic.
some guys do it and some women womansplain, it exists but it's not exclusive to men and it isn't as common as people like to pretend it is
It's when a man explains something to a woman that she already knows, usually in a condescending tone.
I've seen men with no degree try and explain aerodynamics to a woman who worked for NASA. I have a friend who has a masters in English and two published books and she is regularly talked down to about writing by men who've never even writen a 5 page story. I've even seen guys try to explain periods to women in their 30s.Well, it depends on which kind of guy are u talking about. I'm considered one of the guys because I know what guys think and I do what guys do (except for peeing standing up) vice versa. 🤦🏻♀️ I do have friends who are girls don't get their man and some guys don't get their girl. So I'm in between, answering questions.
If you're explaining something to anyone, and its unwanted, yeah it exists. It exists for both men and women though. I have had women tell me how masculinity should work, i have had women try to explain to me how my own body works.. Its not just one gender that does it.
I really don't know, tbh. Men do behave differently with women compared to other men and so do women with men compared to other women, but I don't think that anyone is actively trying to underestimate women.
"Mansplaining" is just another example of feminists dividing men and women by gendering a behavior that everyone does. "Mansplaining" is as real as "womanyelling".
The biggest problem in this question is feminism, not mansplaining.women (and soy leftist men) are so filled with emotions they don't understand the implications of their actions or what they're talking about men have to step in and ease the situation by explaining facts and logic. since men (mostly conservative men) are more logical we have a different more logical of explaining certain situations and easing tension.
Stop these made up words that make no sense at all. No, it is not real.
