David Whitley ® @mrdavidwhitley Possibly unpopular opinion re this chart you're all sharing: A lot of what gets branded as mansplaining is just men trying to share enthusiasm or make conversation, and should be treated as the well-meaning clumsiness it is. Flowchart diagram by Kim Gordon: “Am I mansplaining? Did she ask you to explain it? No. Yes. Not mansplaining. Yes; she said she did. Do you have more relevant experience? Yes, by a fair amount. About the same, or I'm not sure. Would most men with her education & experience already know this? Did you ask if she needed it explained? Yes. 1 did not ask. Yes; she said no. Probably mansplaining. She has more. She has more, and is a well known expert. Definitely mansplaining. Just stop talking now.”6:36 AM • 7/21/18
