Hmm, in specific cases it may be an overreaction, but as a default, especially for women in STEM, it is unfortunately often a justified defense mechanism. Men mansplain to everybody, and not always as a power move, but other men usually have subtle responses that women can’t use.

If it makes the call-outer bitter, it’s a dumb thing to do. Resentment = drinking poison hoping the other person will die. If it makes the suspected mansplainer bitter, it may be an acceptable cost for the call-outer, who may have better things to do than sparing feelings.
