Finally, a way to lay it out.
We all hate being mansplained to. It’s the most eye roll-inducing, frustrating, intolerable thing to happen – and it happens to us all on a daily basis.
It’s done on Twitter, Instagram, on the street, in the office and just about everywhere in between.
However, when Kim Goodwin, a researcher, author and designer was asked to explain to term to two men, she decided to make a chart about it. And she nailed it.
“I have had more than one male colleague sincerely ask whether a certain behaviour is mansplaining. Since apparently this is hard to figure out, I made one of them a chart,” she explained on Twitter
It has now received more than 123,000 likes and 51,000 retweets.
