10 Ridiculous Things Women Have Had Mansplained to Them

Source: @Apple_heart7 on Twitter

It delights me to no end to inform you (or, to have just been informed) that the word “mansplaining” now appears in the Oxford English Dictionary, and they define it like this:

“the explanation of something by a man, typically to a woman, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing.”

Or, to put it a little more colloquially, dudes telling women s**t they already know, or s**t that’s just wrong.

It’s more common than you might think. Here are just ten random, ridiculous examples, via Twitter.

10. Pregnancy moods

Yeah that’s gonna be a big oof from me.

9. Parenting

Bruh water skiing is the worst.

8. Glassware

Yeah, thanks honey, that’s literally my job.

7. Anatomy

Swing and a miss as usual, fellas.

6. IUDs

Again. Just. WHY would you choose this battle?

5. Plates

I would give anything to see a transcript of this conversation.

4. Bras

Bras, bruh? BRAS? BRUH?!

3. Bees

HE HAS CHOSEN THE BEES!

2. Military service

Wait, they let LADIES IN NOW?!

1. Geography and ethnicity

Just stop. Don’t. Get some help.

We gotta do better, dudes.
