Chances are whatever you say next will not be good. It's like when people say "I'm not racist, but"
Why do people begin sentences like this? *thinking pikachu*

Well if i could mansplain for a minute, its because they know their behavior is problematic but they dont care to reflect or change and they think somehow owning the bad behavior makes it less bad (in case you, personally, didnt know, tc, it doesn't--its still bad)

I just want to restore this world back to the natural. Bring order to this broken reality. To the way it should have been, all those many years ago.

Do you see what i did there? I jokingly engaged in the behavior you were lamenting while also making a serious point

I have also done it again by explaining the post itself, however this second post is closer to crossing the line between satire and actual egregious mansplaining. A third post like this and i may just be canceled

I'd agree with this.

As much as I want to appreciate him as a science "entersplainer," I don't think I can keep watching his content unless he's doing a solo podcast or something. He has a terrible habit of interrupting his guests, and they clearly get annoyed with him. I'm always wishing he would let them finish their points because it's interesting shit!

What is mansplaining? I get the concept of a man explaining something, but that in and of itself doesn't warrant a special word, so there's got to be much to it.

Explaining something in a condescending way.

Explaining basic things everyone knows like theyre stupid and overtalking people. Its definitely a thing

I can't take anyone seriously who uses this term.

It's like someone saying they are adulting.

I feel like that isn't a something that only men do. In fact, I regularly have women explaining to me why the way I live my life is so bad.

I don't really get the whole idea of it. The only time I can recall ever explaining anything or offering information from a gender-based perspective was when my you niece was talking about someone she new named Willy and I said something about it being a British idiom for a penis and she was like "I know what a willy is..." and I was surprised, but more because it's not a commonly used term in the US. That's the most "mansplaining" thing I've ever done afaik. I tend to assume that either everyone will know what I'm talking about or indicate otherwise, or no one will know what I'm talking about and I will have to explain regardless of gender
