Thread: What is "mansplaining"?

Almost EVERY time I hear a woman explaining something to me is in a condescending way. so... It actually does exist, HAS existed and will forever be. Just try and ask any woman to explain the difference between colors like Salmon, pink, coral and red.

Now, if a homosexual man that works in fashion does mansplaining, is it still?

Bueno Reminder, I'm not so certain that el machismo is more widespread than feminism.

It is so common to see men portrayed as dummies in television and commercials while the women are wise and tolerant of their husbands stupidity.

Seems to me that women have always been smarter than their husbands and when one exhibits some small amount of intelligence he is patted on the head like a child who has just done something successfully.

Even in Star Wars Poe is shown to be dumber than he thought he was .

No, I think women identify with gay men.
