Had a male doctor (professor) that I was working with and who knew full well that I have a PhD in immunology sit for about 20 minutes and explain in excruciatingly basic detail what neutrophils and macrophages are (GCSE level stuff). Really couldnāt believe it and it still irks me to this day that I was expected to just sit there and take it because he was my senior.

I guiltily enjoy getting to a point in a friendship where I can āpost-mansplainā ā so I can say to a friend who is a teacher that āa school is where children go and learnā

Yeah, my Granās grandparents (or something like that) were pirates
Thereās a guy I work with who pretends to not quite be sure of things so he can explain them to us in what he thinks is a non patronising way. The term he most does this with is BAME.
āBAME, so, if Iām right thatās, Black, Asian and minority ethnic, yeah?ā and he says it really slowly so we can, I guess, write it down. Phew, thanks for that.

always hated that bit when you are a passenger in a car and youāre chatting to your mate the driver but you have to keep sneaking in telling them when to turn because they donāt know where they are dropping you off and you have to time it right and listen to the conversation and seem casual about it too

always hated the bit when Iām the driver and my mate told me when to turn and I said āyeahā and then ended up not slowing down enough and I have to say āyeah shit sorry - but the sat nav should account for that and come up with a slightly different route, I reckon ā and yeah shit sorry I missed that other turn because I was explaining that. Iām too shy to hassle about petrol money so tbh you get what you pay for ehā

Yeah, sorry itās not more exciting really. Theyāre still around now apparently (pirates, not my ancestors) which is interesting. Donāt think theyāre good guys though.
Fascinating looking into that sort of thing, that side of my family is some mild inbreeding and pirates.

I guess it depends if people know where their own house is
Always a bit wary of dunking on mansplainers too hard as a guy just cos Iām pretty sure that I (and pretty much all men tbh) are probably guilty of it on occasion.
I guess being aware of it and checking yourself as a result is a positive.

Reckon you can tell a mansplainer by those who will correct your pronunciation. Must be the same people.
