(Audio) Mansplaining, Lecturing, And Challenging--What Are The Differences?

What do you do when you've been illegitimately accused of 'mansplaining'? I gotcher answers right here!

A male commenter recently asked what mansplaining actually is and how does it differ from explaining, which men apparently love to do. I explain it more here (not femsplainin’ if you’re actually curious!) because men often get accused of mansplaining when they’re simply lecturing, which can be annoying, or, often, unfortunately, when they’ve challenged a woman who simply dislikes what he said to her, especially if he’s proven her wrong about something.

I discuss the origin of mansplaining and return to the original meaning, and what men can do about it. (Hint: You can stand up for yourself!)

Men mansplain mansplainin’ (Humor)

NSFW. What was funny in 1978 is actually really sad now.

Really really REALLY unsafe for work! Turn the sound waaaaay down or wear headphones for this one:
