What do you think mansplaining is?
My understanding of the phrase is men talking down to women about something that women already know. Like in the article, the actual mansplaining part..when she answered what je ne sais quoi meant...the guy didn't even know himself but continued to explain even though she had already bloody answered.
Mansplaining is not just a man explaining...many think it is
It does get overused though sometimes. When I first explained what it meant to my husband, he said a lot of men will 'mansplain' to him too. Just seems to be much more common for men to do it to women. Some women may also may do it to men, I accept that. But noone in that article is 'womansplaining'
