Which definiiton is right
1
What is the difference between mansplaining and explaining?
While a man who is explaining might wait to be asked a question, a mansplaining man will jump in with answers before anyone has expressed a need for them. While a man who is explaining might ask about the other person's qualifications or familiarity, a mansplaining man assumes that the other person is starting at zero.Mar 7, 2023
