Search Results: different types of guys

Mansplaining is essentially a male who explains something to someone else, even if the person says they are well informed or even more educated than the male in this subject yet the guy will just explain it anyways in extreme detail under the belief you are either lying or need him to also explain it.

I think this stems from specific guys needing self validation of showing their knowledge and when someone says they already know about the stuff the guy wanted to tell, he feels like he needs to share it anyway.

It is annoying and the thing came to mind because my dad is a mansplaining person, any person in my family can say they understand exactly how to do something and then he will say let me show you how to do it better though, it is infuriating.

Like with when I am using tools and I am using something as very simple as a chisel, he will come over and ask if I know how to use each one and if I know that there are different types, I tell him that I did woodworking and know about each type and know how to use them and that I don't need help and he will immediately just say well let me show you how I use this one, I find it is most effective if you do this etc. it is really annoying.


So with all this said, I feel that now just the guys who are just explaining simply to a question and not in this way, have now started to get a type of bad reputation where if a guy explains anything in detail it is considered mansplaining.



I do not mansplain because if someone knows something they don't need me to tell them and I would never be so rude as to assume I know more than them in a thing they say they already knew about.
