This reminds me the “People are…” statements I hear or read, simple generalizations about the other we don't like but which reflect a truth about ourselves. For example, if I'm driving down the road and someone gets in front of me without signaling, I would tend to say “[some] people don't know how to change lanes!” all huffy and puffy. In reality, I sometimes do the same thing. Amazing! Same with this feel-good, it's-someone-else's-fault neologism, mansplaining, to project our frustrations onto the opposite gender (or sex) when we (some women, not all) feel talked down, interrupted, condescended or otherwise rolled over by some unfounded, silly or unsupported explanation or jabbering. 😇 🤓 Full disclosure: I'm a man, so you could say I'm “mansplaining” my point. 😅 | |

"Momsplaining"...that's hilarious!! | Apr 5, 2017 |
If one pays more attention, "mansPLAINing" actually means "man being so plain (insignificant) that needs to validate his unsolicited opinion shutting up a woman more competent than him". | | |
Research showed that... Well, that one has no gender; both men and women use it. Most of the time there is no research at all. | | | Mervyn Henderson (X) Spain Local time: 02:55 Spanish to English + ... | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » "Mansplaining" makes its way into 33 other languages Trados Business Manager Lite | Create customer quotes and invoices from within Trados Studio
