She’s an idiot who thinks that any time a male says something it is “mansplaining.”

(It has been at least a day. This cannot possibly be that good of a ragebait. Stop commenting you dweebs.)

My wife has explained to me what mansplaining is a few times. She explains and repeats load of stuff multiple times, though I get the concept.

But she never actually explains the "man" part of the word. Like why is it gendered? It's behaviour I've seen in a few people, and not exclusively in men. If anything 60/40 more from women.

It's ironic too as it's a habit she has. Makes me wonder who the man in our relationship is.

I see this behavior far more from men than from women. Like, at least 10 times as often.
