Yeah, I've seen that hash tag thingy pop up too. Little bit worrying alongside also having seen someone recently state feminism isn't about equality. The minefield is freshly laid...

This is why feminism gets so much shite online. So much of what they say is perfectly reasonable and needs to be said - sexism sucks, men and women should be equal. Grand! But the minute you bring up mansplaining or manspreading or BS like that, you shoot yourself in the foot.

Working as an IT solutions architect, I can confirm that I often get men telling me how to do my job or explaining the bleedin' obvious, where other (technical) women just don't do it. You see it on Twitter all the time too. Amateur men explaining things to female experts.

It's a term meant to discount and/or silence. Society has a lot of such terms.

Ps- I think you’re right
, women can do this too but it tends to be the exception, not the rule. (Just from personal experience the number of times I’ve been mansplained to and dismissed by males is legion, can count on my fingers when women have done it to me. ) - Show replies
