    I think it’s fair to point out that there is a trend where men will do this to women in situations where they would never do it to another man. The way people use the term annoys me more often than not but I still think it’s a valid concept.

      You underestimate my need of superiority, every one will deserve my explanation, men, women, children, fish, cat and dog, and the explanation of my explanation and it’s prequel and sequel. Yep, I have adhd.

      When you’re sitting in on a condescending lecture, how do you know that the person giving it wouldn’t be just as condescending towards a man as well though? I feel like there are two answers here:

      1. You don’t, and they could just be generally condescending.

      2. This is a trend with this man towards women, and in my opinion in the term “mansplaining” isn’t harsh enough. Call them what they are, misogynistic assholes.

      You want to be treated like a man (if you are a girl)?

      I don’t understand why people are surprised there are gender differences. It’s supposed to be. And we are supposed to react to eachother, be different to eachother. It’s natural biologically and physically and this is completely obvious.

      You think women don’t explain to men how something works a million times a day? I hear it so often I can’t even count. It’s perfectly natural.
