      There's this excellent video, I wish I could find it again, of a trans man explaining male privilege and one of the examples he gives

      is that women started to defer to him, even on the dumbest things. One time two female friends' watches were showing different times. He

      glanced at his watch & said, "I've got 4.15" & the conversation stopped & they just went with the time he'd said, like it must be correct.

      He noticed this happening time and again, as soon as he transitioned enough to read as male to most people.

      But we all read these. There was one going round by a trans man who said how much easier men were to talk to & how he valued simplifying.

      That doesn't seem relevant to the topic. What's your point?

      That he found he got shut down less by men. I'm just not convinced by anecdotal evidence. It's all so subjective.

      Fair enough, but only as subjective as your claim that you don't see it.

      Are you? Because you just dismissed my evidence & the world is hardly lacking in evidence of the kind of sexism that underpins mansplaining.

      I don't think we can take 'mansplaining' accusations as evidence that men are overbearing & 'nagging' ones as proof men try to silence women

          Some other women have spoken of conservative attitudes in the American South & gentle men still being seen as leaders whilst women not.

          Women being seen not as unknowledgeable but as too soft for leadership roles unless very assertive. More moderate & explained observations.
