"All guys are mansplainers. We see a woman, we think she's a damsel in distress." Do you agree?

This was said by a great man, will send him this thread 😂

Yes
No, that's such a wrong stereotype
Gurl, let me explain it to you!

Funny how using such derogatory terms for men is easy and common.

Walk in a room and call all the dudes out like Sup n word/f word/mf word.... nobody bats an eye. Call a girl the b word and everybody loses their mind.

I'm more of a humansplainer because most people are dumb or they are acting dumb (as they are making way too much money for that level of intelligence). And I wish I would be treated as a damsel in distress..... imagine complaining about people lining up to help you ......

Never really understood "Mansplaining"

For example if there is new female colleague in team who wants to understand services, is it considered Mansplaining to give KT? Like should I never answer questions by any lady?

Haha no. Mansplaining is explaining things that she knows better and / or didn't even ask for. Example- you start advising on female health or her career

So basically a male gynaecologist is professional mansplainer?

I do it not because she is a damsel in distress. But in a conversation if you mention something and she looks at you confused, it’s not rude to make sure you both are on the same page. Then again, women are so scared of embarrassment that they won’t ask themselves or say they don’t know even when you ask. 🤷‍♂️

Generalisation, but yea explain things she MAY NOT know. I have had men explain female health to me, or what to do in my career when didn't ask for advice. She has lived a life of her own too, she knows things.

It's thin line, easy to cross over.

Women do it too, there's no word for that though. Considered more of motherly care 💁‍♀️

How does one find out what she does not know? Social dynamics are weird here. Asking “do you know what i mean?” is embarrassing or condescending, not asking is bad, she won’t tell you whether she doesnt know proactively, so the best solution is to just linger in silence.

One of the more weirder aspects is that people don’t like it when you make them feel dumb. It could be by assuming they don’t know, by asking if they know, by not asking if they know, by explaining or not explaining without needing to ask, and so on.

You are confusing advice with explanations. Unsolicited advice is almost always bad experience even if the specific advice is useful. Explanations are different and self explanatory.

I don't agree. This is a stereotype, not a universal truth. Men aren't born mansplainers, society molds them. Change starts at home, not on social media.
