There are few places I support #Mansplaining: tutorials, reviews, debates or takedown pieces. Seriously, you can mansplain the hell out of the complex interdisciplinary research. #phdchat #AcademicTwitter #OpenScience
Also, don’t say “It’s clear from.. “, mansplain it for me!

I agree with you guys. I was trying to make the point in a funny way! I bombed I guess :)

A good example would be a cis man who is not an expert explaining what it's like to have mittelschmerz to me while I'm trying to talk to my friend who isn't him about my period pain.

Or an English non-expert explaining the Cypriot problem to me while I'm trying to talk to my mum about a nuanced issue in Cypriot politics. That would be classic splaining.

To splain you need to insert yourself in a discussion where you rely on a social privilege you have, like male privilege for mansplaining, and not an inherent expertise that's relevant in the context.
