What's with the seemingly uncontrollable urge of some guys to #MansplainWaterToFish?
It's an odd coincidence that men are most excited to explain my areas of expertise to me when they mistake me for a girl 🤷🏼♀️
Mansplain and manspread, two horrific diseases which need eradication...

@alice I'm starting to wonder if mansplaining is some kind of biological imperative to demonstrate they're a worthy mate because they're smart. 🤔
I *love* explaining things - but I've (generally) learned to wait to be *asked* first.

just for balance, #Femsplaining is also a thing.

@Captain_Jack_Sparrow @v @alice You did not.
Sorry, but I did not what?

@Elleaster the captain did indeed, I'm afraid

@alice Maybe its "just" puffing up their chest and displaying their "mate-worthyness". The current world provides some reward for being knowledgeable, and for being confident. If I'm a male and (think) I have these properties, I should display them so prospective mates can take note

@alice Hell yes, I love when others are knowledgable in subjects, and knowing more than me, I can learn something new.
Though I assume it's not fair to be sponging off the knowledge of others if they put a hell of a lot more work and possibly money into acquiring that knowledge, especially if I'm not giving them something in return other than thanks for sharing knowledge.
@chris I've found that most folx who have significant expertise in something are usually excited when someone shows interest in their area of experience.
A lot of us would love to geek out about our special interest, both to new folx and to other experts.

@WTL I think it's a societal conditioning, rather than a biological imperative. (many) Men are (often) taught (indirectly) that their opinions are (in general) more valuable than women's.
(At least in the US,) there's a pressure for men to show leadership and initiative, and a perception that women need protecting and should just be quiet and look pretty.
Even if no one involved in the conversation believes any of that, they've still been (subtly) "rewarded" for acting like it throughout their lives.
When those societal conditionings bump into each other in conversation, it (often) looks like men assuming greater (possibly unearned) competence in the subject as they try to "help" the woman by bringing her "up to speed" (in an area she may well be well-versed in already). But to the woman, it (often) feels "safer" to just let him go for it, because there's (enough of a) history of men getting aggressive when they feel they've been embarrassed (by a woman).

@golgaloth @alice yeah, re-uploaded the un-typo'd pic. let's hope it federates x.x
@v @golgaloth @alice Can confirm it federated to the instance I'm on at the very least; I only saw the corrected version and was briefly confused by the replies.

@v @Elleaster @Captain_Jack_Sparrow in the name of fair and balanced reporting...
*notice the roughly pixel tall scroll bar in the corner of #Mansplaining.

@FraEmme pensavo capitasse solo col mio medico. Essendo molto pignolo e prolisso, pensavo fosse un suo problema... probabilmente dipende dalla mancanza di molti medici di base

@FlashMobOfOne @selzero oh nice!

@selzero wife will have the whole weekend off (she usually works either Sat or Sun, but not this time)

@oblomov I found a very small corner case where they’re useful /for me/, and admittedly of small or negative utility for the OP, when I want to use a post as the seed/context for a broader idea to my followers (where I might usually just boost my own reply) but where my comment simply isn’t useful to the OP (doesn’t answer the OP question, as an example)
In general, though, boosting my own comment in addition to the OP works better
