What does Mansplaining mean? Mansplaining is defined as: the explanation of something by a man, typically to a woman, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing. Generally, this shows up as a man unintentionally over or under explaining something to a woman.
Yes. It still happens.

It used to bug me but now I just see it as some sort of need that they need to fill.

See, summer, what you call mansplaining is just the natural result of how things work. Let me tell you how things work in the real world... Sorry, I couldn't keep a straight face. April 1 and all...

My wife did give me the old guy tee shirt that says "I know stuff and I fix things. It's what I do". So you know my explanations are spot on

I was raised by a single-mom who is a strong woman. I live with a wife and three daughters that I hope grow up to be strong and successful women. But go on if you wish to believe I’m some anti-woman caveman. 😂

Someone tell him that mansplaining has nothing to do with being an anti-female caveman.

This is a thing I struggle with. I am also a trained engineer, and when someone comes to us with problems we will try to solve them. When most of the time the person already knows how to solve them or doesn't want help even if they don't know (in at least one case I have been told not to "speak to someone like they are an infant" when I offered a suggestion). So I am trying hard to learn to keep my mouth shut by reminding myself help isn't usually what people want. But it's hard.

The fact that I "know things and fix stuff" has little to do with your ability to know things and fix stuff, which I'm sure exceeds my abilities in many areas. I'll bet I'm better at boats though...

It's not about what you or I know! Of course, you know things I do not - and vice versa. It's about having common knowledge, and being intelligent and capable, yet men wanting to explain it to us as though we are not aware or are small children.

Otherwise I would’ve ignored the thread. I don’t believe I’m a “mansplainer”. I treat men and women on the forum equally (for better or worse).

Mansplaining, is that anything like asking someone the time and they then proceed to tell you how to build a clock? Mrs W. Is very good at that ... or is that womansplaining?

lol I have to decide whether using video of a man explaining mansplaining, when I already explained mansplaining, is actually mansplaining.

I’ve been watching this thread waiting for all the women who post here to weigh in. Instead it seems many of the men around here are falling into the trap summer has set, explaining why they aren’t mansplaining by… well explaining.
Well done!
/pedantic arrogant mode = off.
