it's happened a lot to me while I was at work and that is not a thing I can really get out of. and critiques in college.

my roommate's bf also did it constantly and it was insufferable. eventually you just kind of tune it out

Do what a man would do

Tell him to go gently caress himself

I guess this is also mansplaining, but whatever

what is there to describe? it's when dudes talk over women and explain things to them like they are children because they are women and obviously wouldn't know about whatever. do you want like concrete examples from my life or something?

So in a back and forth discussion it's mansplaining because the otherside hasn't completely agreed with you already? That seems kinda like a toxic term used to stifle discourse then to me.

If you gave concrete examples they would just tell you a million ways it was your fault and that you could have been less of such a dumb passive-aggressive bitch idiot woman.
Men have little to zero context as to what any of the things like "mansplaining" are and how prevalent those phenomena are in their interactions with women.

They rarely even consider that perhaps you should not treat people like rubbish, rather their instinct is to tell us how we could have just done something better.

passive-aggressive whining knows no gender

you're exactly the same as the spineless man who goes home and swears that one day soon he'll stand up to his bully of a boss and show him what's what

congratulations, being a pushover who avoids conflict (except when you can safely take out your resentments on others who can't do anything to you) is the true gender equality

here's an example: when dudes try to explain to me how I am not actually gay, which happens so often that I've started saying I have a husband to get them to leave me alone about it

it's mainly nerd guys though one of my casual acquaintances is so bad about it he noticed I had a tattoo from a comic and then proceeded to talk over me about the comic and explain it to me in great detail as if I didn't have a tattoo from it. I just don't hang around that guy anymore because it's terrible and he does it with every topic of conversation and does not do it to the men in the room

Mansplaining is when Fox news invites experts as guests and then talk over them to make whatever point they'd already decided to make.
Or tell the expert guests they can't possibly be experts because... something something.
See also congressional hearings where anyone who's an actual expert on the topic is excluded so that politicians can debate the issue between themselves.

MansPalining is when a dude is dumb as a bag of rocks but gets a presidential nomination.

adult men who still watch cartoons and nerd crushes are annoying i agree (ive had a similar experience) but like what did you do actively to try to get him to stop besides think that he should infer you already knew everything he was saying because of a tattoo? there are no wrong answers

I tried to start a sentence and he would just talk over me. it's a fairly obscure design (lol) so it's not like I had the batman symbol tattooed on me and had a chance of not really knowing the source material
