What is mansplaining? Unsolicited patronising explanations from men who are neither your teacher nor your manager. But to see the level of absurdity and obviousness of the things women have had mansplained to them, we have to look at the actual instances that happened to them in real life…
Yup, some men are just stupid.
oh yes…
not only men though
Sad, but no worse really, than the 45min six degrees of Kevin Bacon info dump you might get asking a woman a simple yes or no question.
There are really “blond” females as well…
We all know at least few.
I was woman-splained on how to do laundry, that I must separate my whites from colors.
No really? I was tired of my tidy-whities and just wanted all my briefs turned blue anyway.
re: “How to put on a bra” – why yes.
That’s so it would be easier to unclasp and slip it off.
They find their equal in “blond” males.
Stop whining. You just did it wrong so you won’t have to do it in the future. Lame macho move.
Ask her what time it is and she’ll tell me how to build a watch.
Oh. We can be even more stupider.
One-handed.
Womyn Whining is more grating than so-called Mansplaining!
Incel detected.
As if ever watched a woman closer than the restriction order.
“Mansplained” is a totally sexist and unacceptable slur. Stop this sexism.
Yeah. This makes perfect sense because men never complain about anything.
Yes!
Ladies, stop being so annoyed when I act superior and treat you like an idiot.
We men just love it when people tell us we are wrong. We’ll stay quiet and listen to you go on and on about it too.
The “water the ficus” guy was actually giving good advice. He just worded it poorly. Sometimes neglecting to water it even for one day can cause it to drop all its leaves and die.
I’d say by the sound of the bf’s and ex-husband’s explanations, it’s the women who were stupid … for being with idiots in the first place
Hm, let’s say “naive” in their favour. They at least noticed being manplained.
You pretending to be a man is rather sexist.
Not a ficus yet. He had no idea nor competence what he was talking about. He was a moron and a mansplainer.
It seems to me that many of these women are actually misunderstanding what they’re being educated about.
For example… just because you wear a bra doesn’t mean you know how to fit one correctly! There are studies aplenty which indicate significant numbers of women wear the wrong size!
Just because you might be fluent in your own language does not mean you can translate it into another correctly.
THAT was what he was telling you! If only you’d listened.
Men mansplain to other men. It isn’t actually all makes that do this, it’s just the ones with small feet.
Yes we all know all men are sexist, manspaining morons. And all women are perfect, logical loving members of the Sisterhood.
Right. It’s our job to educate women about stuff we know better than them. Bras are the perfect example. We’ve looked at them so many times, and sometimes we get to unclip them too. They think they know so much more just because they’ve been wearing one every single day for decades, and they talk to their friends about them too, but what do they know?
I agree, segregation is the only way to peace.
That’s not what these Twitter posting and women say. That’s what your incel brain thinks.
They probably wear the wrong size because certain EducatedGents demand a certain cup size on a woman. But what do they know.
We men are so educated. For example… just because you wear underwear doesn’t mean you know how to fit it correctly! A significant number of EducatedGents wear the wrong size!
I heard in Italy it is a sport for old men standing by construction sites and such and give their unwanted advice to the workers. Men and women alike.
It’s because most of the time women seem unsure about well… everything. Their entire demeanor screams help me 90% of the time. So men try to help the best they can. Your fault. Be more in control like men are. Just act competent even when your not, you know, like men do.
Yes, a loser ghetto for incels.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! You really believe that? That’s so awkward. Sorry to all women out there for “men” like those.
Got that ladies? It’s your fault!
Don’t want to get mansplained? Don’t look so uncertain while you carry a plant teach a college course, write a play, or publish a book. That one woman really screwed up when she had a birth mark on her face……
Honestly though, I hope this guy and many of the posters here are just trolling and messing with us. I think some are, but sadly, others are not. Maybe they need some woman splaining sometime to understand just how stupid it can be. Tell them how to use a tool properly or something.
There are men who mansplain to other men, too. I used to work with a guy who Knew Everything, and I can remember him starting off his dissertations with “Let me tell you how they make oak…,” or “Let me tell you what erosion is.” By “how they make oak,” he didn’t mean cutting or finishing oak wood; he meant the chemical and physical deposition of material within oak trees themselves.
Educated beyond their intelligence.
All men don’t mansplain and all women aren’t Karen. First world problems.
Some of these do seem to be a bit full of themselves.
Summing up how many degrees you have does not make you the absolute authority.
Having experience doesn’t make you the source of all knowledge.
I’m always open to new insights and ideas.
Looking back; I think of how much money I could have saved not dating, and much simpler my life would be not having a family, but rather living in a mountain top cabin, teleworking, drinking birch beer and Everclear on my porch and tending the garden. Then I stop my day dreaming to my wife screeches about the taxes, a kid comes in says they dented the car, the next kid comes in says they need a $150 book for college. The next kid lectures me on proper wood stove operation.
I’d like my cabin to have a long poorly maintained dirt road and a hidden entrance to the county road, a view of the valley would be nice but not required.
But you didn’t. Therefore you have to pay. You’ve done that yourself.
Thanks for explaining to us how full they are of themselves and how degrees work.
I take the trash out. I go out the door to move the trash can (dust bin for the Brits) each time it is to go out. As I step out the door, she says for me to not forget the trash can, that it needs to go out to the street to be picked up. Duh! Womansplainig at it’s best.
Wow, the trash. That alone doesn’t make you a good husband.
“Some of these”
How difficult is it for you to read?
Seems like you do need some explaining, but I’m not going to bother.
Aren’t “some of these” not “they”? But you are welcome to explain human language to us and women deserve the status of fellow humans.

The sound of a women’s voice has been proven to raise a mans blood pressure and not in a good way. Woman on average speak 20000 words a day while men speak about 5000. So take the hint. Women need to shut the Fu#% up more.
SO, today; on things that never happened
