Asking someone to explain mansplaining is mansplaining. Got it.
You asked, but then gave three inaccurate statements that have already had detailed answers about the meaning. It isn't mansplaining because you weren't directing it at a woman, but the comment as a whole would fit the definition if it was directed at a woman.
Can someone mansplain mansplaining to me? It seems like any time someone with a beard inhales sharply.
Kind of like how manspreading is men sitting down.
And the male gaze is men looking at things.
All three terms are more nuanced than that even if some people ignore the context and use them in a sexist way against men in general. There will always be a number of people who use words incorrectly.

Remember boys, the ppl that think like this are the ones that will try to prevent you from a fair shot at everything. Get ready to be discriminated against and simply record everything so it can be documented online and in the courts. Dont engage with them - just expose their behavior and choices.

That's right, ArbitraryValve! Good catch, nicely done bud!
Oh yeah, serves smug shutlibs of course

Men do mensplain but they do it most if you are a week "cute girl". In my line of work I have to be kind of a bitch (not asshole just not girly), if I'm cute I won't get anything done. Nobody mensplain anything to a bitch. They roll their eyes and just do whater you want fast so you cam go away.
In my private life I'm usually the one womensplaing

Cmon buddy, you set yourself up for that one. Do you really sob politics everytime your chain gets jerked little?

I often explain stuff for others so they can verify my information, it also gives me another chance to go over the idea in my head.

I like how OOP gets the name wrong also. Shane not Shawn. It really makes it feel extra condescending.
They're good dogs, Brent.

It's exposition for the voices in my head.

C'mon Bront. Every dog is a perfect 13/10.

Unironically, thats how I feel explaining things when I get excited, and I kinda like being a kid excited about sharing something. Because either I get to share something I find really cool and you hopefully do too, or you already knew about it and maybe know more than me and I can learn something more about the thing I'm excited about. But mansplaining does imply a level of condescension that I really fucking hope I don't come across as.

Bratt is just angry for no reason.

Mansplaining is when you are a male and you open your mouth to say something. It might have been used properly in the past but now it's just a buzzword used to silence people.
wrote last edited by [email protected]It does seem to be a way to shut men down without making any kind of point. Look at some of the responses in this thread.
Another “emotional invalidation” or “NPD” or “weaponized incompetence.”

Homie I gotta stop biting. If you can't see how your comment was:
- overconfident
- inaccurate
- oversimplified
- and could be read as condescending
Idk what to tell ya.
Good luck out there.
Asking someone to explain something is none of those things.

Unfortunately I am autistic and explaining something I think is cool. Only it gets interpreted as condescension
Its not always but its often enough

you can ask if it's okay to share!

OP walked right into that, face first.

I've had this experience before. I was excited to talk about what I learnt whilst volunteering for a war museum, and wanted to share my excitement with people. Got accused of Mansplaining. It really was upsetting, since I was just talking about a lovely experience and didn't want to upset nor offend anyone...

My partner has taught/trained me to ask "would you like to hear more?" before I info-dump on him.
Example:
Me: "at work today I've been playing around with configuration settings for Primo VE, specifically the search scopes... Um... would you like to hear more?"Response: "I'm glad you have an interesting problem at work and no, no thank you."

I also love explaining things and get excited when it's an area i know about, and then got accused of mansplaining. seeing that many men in these comments suffered the same fate, maybe some women could become more chill lol

Bingo, every fucking time. I'm literally just sharing whats in my head. You know, trying to communicate like a fucking person? Sorry you took that as me thinking you were stupid. Because now i definitely think you're stupid.
