mansplaining

It is super exciting to learn new things. The world is full of things we do not understand yet, and it is those who are unapologetically curious that end up with the most valuable knowledge. We gain knowledge through experiences, through research, and course from word of mouth. The only time it's not fun to gain new info is when there is some chad mansplaining you something he knows absolutely nothing about. Yep, in these cases, most of us could live without that 'knowledge.'

Now, enjoy the best mansplaining tweets we saw this week.

Mansplaining has become a completely routine part of life. To be fair it has always been around, but the only difference now is that women have become empowered to call men out on it. And boy does it feel good to tell a dude he is mansplaining. A man's view on the concept of 'mansplaining' can be very telling of how woke he really is. If you call him out and he says, "Oops, my bad," there's still hope, but if he hits you with the, "There should be woMANsplaining too," Run.

Here are the most iconic mansplaining Tweets we saw this week.

Mansplaining is an ongoing phenomenon that is apparently highly contagious. People as young as 3 have apparently been caught mansplaining. I don't know about you but this is slightly worrying to me. But what is even scarier is to imagine a world without mansplaining. Oof, the thought of it gives me shivers. How would women develop thoughts without men mansplaining every single thing to them? What's the point? Women would be so lost, so vulnerable.

No worries though, mansplaining isn't going anywhere anytime soon. So for now, let's just enjoy these ridiculous tweets from people who have given up giving af about it.

Ah mansplainers, they always show up when they're least expected, or really rather when they're least wanted. It's amazing how 'mansplain' has fully been accepted and incorporated into the general lexicon of most generations (yep, even my dad asks me sometimes, 'Hey, was that mansplaining?'), yet it is still a huge issue that continues to drive people crazy all over the world. I guess defining an issue doesn't end the issue. Good to know... Seriously though, these men can be ruthless, they will mansplain your own name to you, they don't give a f**k.

At least we have Twitter, where survivors of mansplaining instances can come together and roast these relentless men who really had the audacity.

It must be so rewarding to go through 5+ years of university, become an expert in a topic, receive your PhD, all that jazz, and then still continue to get gaslighted by people who know literally nothing about anything. I don't know how these people keep their cool. I guess just knowing that you are extremely intelligent is enough to allow you to resist the urge to explode all over them. Plus, exploding won't change anything, mansplainers are always going to mansplain. We must accept it, it's truly in their nature.

Perhaps the best tactic is just to laugh at them. And what better place than on Twitter?

Being a woman, we have to deal with a lot of BS. We know that there are men out there who will take one look at us and be unable to hold themselves back from mansplaining the most obscure sh*t to us, and we basically just have to take it. If we try to clap back, their fragile egos might not be able to take it.

Now that I think of it, a good question to measure who will be a good mate could be: What are your thoughts on mansplaining?

Their answer will say a lot. *Warning though, they may mansplain mansplaining to you.

These weekly mansplaining Tweets really show how many women had their patience tested this past week. Stay strong girlies. Our cute little brains probably can't take much more.

It's amazing how so many things are continuously progressing and changing, especially during these trying times, yet men still have the audacity to mansplain. It's honestly a talent, the complete disregard for female intelligence and patience. I suppose it's the way they're raised, but why would somebody try to raise a know-it-all?

It's important to note that we girls do not think that all men are serial mansplainers, though if they reject the existence of 'mansplaining,' it's a definite red flag. These tweets definitely capitalize on that.

Kate Thwaites, a member of the Australian Parliament, went on ABC tv to talk about the significance of #March4justice. March 4 Justice was an organized movement in Australia that brought tens of thousands of people together to march and protest against the sexual abuse and harassment of women in the country. As Thwaites was sharing her support for the movement on TV, Morrison Government Senator Ben Small continuously spoke over her, basically proving Thwaites' point about why such female-empowerment movements need to take place. Tsk tsk.

Thwaites shared her frustrating experience on Twitter only hours ago, and it has already blown up. Just like Thwaites did in the interview, Twitter is disappointed but not surprised.

It just feels fitting that during International Women's Month we honor the women who have had to sit through cringy mansplaining experiences. I don't know how they do it. Oh, wait, just kidding I do, because I'm a woman too, and I'm well aware that we get mansplained to nearly every day of our lives. One way to get through it (besides reminding yourself that mansplainers are trash), is to share the experience on Twitter. A safe space, where women can roast men free-ly, and then they get butt-hurt, and we literally couldn't care less.

Sexism is still alive and well in 2021, even against our best efforts. Nonetheless, the women of Twitter aren't having any of it. They're coming straight for the double standards, mansplainers, rape culture, and period shamers at full throttle. Some tweets will make you laugh, some tweets will make you cry, but all of them call out the sexists of the world for their bullsh*t. Scroll down for these super harsh but true tweets. 

You've heard of mansplainers, and you've heard of Twitter. But what happens when you put these two concepts together? An obnoxiously loud virtual boombox spewing bullsh*t you didn't want to hear today - or ever. You've tried to escape the mansplainers on every corner at work, college, subway, and even the grocery store. You can run, but you can't hide forever. With a keyboard at their fingertips, the mansplainer will inevitably find you.

Twitter provides the mansplainer creature with the outlet he's been looking for. The platform allows him to intrude on any conversation with his superior expertise, knowledge, and opinions, even though nobody asked for them. Here are the mansplainers of the Twittersphere - read it and weep, ladies!

Isn't it great how men know everything? It's actually such a wonderful thing. We don't have to think at all. Don't know how to put on a bra? Don't ask your mom! Ask a man! Any man really should be fine, they're all experts. Ceos of everything. We honestly owe them all a big thank you!

But seriously, why do men do this? Sure if you are a certified gyno, please tell me about my reproductive system, otherwise, STAY IN YOUR LANE BRAD!

If you are a woman who interacts with members of the opposite sex, chances are you have had something you already know condescendingly explained to you by an overconfident man. Dubbed "mansplaining" by tired women, it has been well-documented and cleverly mocked online. Some women even make up extra-douchey characters and pretend to mansplain to show just how silly it looks. But mansplaining is so common and often so absurd that you can't always tell who's serious and who's just playing a character. So here's your chance to test your powers of detection! Each of the following posts was either written by a real know-it-all of a man, or by a woman pretending to mansplain. Can you figure out which is which? Good luck!

Men who mansplain are amongst some of the worst people on the planet. There's nothing more boring than having a man patronizingly explain something to you that you not only already understand but that you probably know more about than him. Welcome to men's fragile sexist egos, which can't possibly comprehend that a delicate, stupid little woman could understand something better than him— especially about their own bodies. I know, I know, not all men do this. But the ones who do give men a bad rep.

Tyra Blizzard decided to jump on the trending mansplaining bandwagon and shared a story on TikTok of how her ex-boyfriend tried mansplaining her period to her, explaining that she only needed a couple of spare tampons in her purse. and not as many as she currently had. She explained that she was "flabbergasted", and exclaimed, "Sir, how would you know about my flow?!" She then asked women to stitch or duet her TikTok with their own stories and share their own "jaw-dropping mansplaining experiences." Of course, her post went viral, and the responses came flooding in, and they are quite shocking. Here are some of the best, showing how alive and well the mansplaining disease is.

Riddle me this; what's one of the most infuriating things that men do? Ok, fine, it's not a trick question because every woman knows that the correct answer is "mansplaining," aka correctile dysfunction. Yes, almost every woman has had a man condescendingly explain something to them in a manner that suggests they can't possibly understand what he's talking about. And we're sick of it. F*ck. The. Patriarchy! Here are some mansplaining memes that you can send to men to explain how sick of mansplaining you are. Can we make 'womansplaining' a thing?
