Prof. Emily M. Bender(she/her)Seems like I should maybe post & pin: I don't suffer mansplaining. If you do it, I will call it out. Think twice about whether you are telling me something I could reasonably be expected to already know.
Cusick@emilymbender Amen!!!
Jon (now at neuromatch.social)@emilymbender yeah really. eminently pinnable!
Miriam Posner@emilymbender oh god, thank you
Kerri Hicks 🧶 📚 🧼 🧬 💻@emilymbender I've never understood why someone wouldn't just ask, "Oh do you know about blank?" before launching into 100 level explanation of blank.
Of course the worst is when they do ask that question, and then they launch into the explanation anyway...
ɹdǝƃ@kerri9494 @emilymbender I mean, I think I grok the cringe (or frustration) at mansplaining. But I've come to appreciate a good boor, especially when that boor knows a hell of a lot more about a subject I'm interested in. And it might save some introverted listeners from the embarrassment of not knowing some domain or the social cost of having a conversation. I'm hoping my counter doesn't get me blocked like it would on the site that shall not be named. 😟
@gepr @emilymbender What you've described is not "mansplaining" though. If someone knows more about something than me, it's typically "educating" or "correcting". "'mansplaining'—explaining without regard to the fact that the explainee knows more than the explainer, often done by a man to a woman" --Lily Rothman https://www.theatlantic.com/sexes/archive/2012/11/a-cultural-history-of-mansplaining/264380/
@kerri9494 Yeah, I know. But there's a spectrum. Sometimes the mansplainer does actually know some splintering rhizome that you didn't know. My technique is to nudge them toward the branches they do, and I don't, know. It makes me less reactionary in their boorish presence.
@gepr "Sometimes the mansplainer does actually know some splintering rhizome that you didn't know." You don't say.
Thatch
Alexey Merz@thatchcolom @emilymbender Shallow question; deep answer.
cstreet@emilymbender omg...I feel like I should pin that to all profiles and place it in my email signature as well. Maybe on a tshirt too. Fastest way to be emasculated is to try and mansplain to me.
Sameer@emilymbender India's got the largest population of female machine talkers. Love to carry a message from you. We're a 15k community on LinkedIn
Lorry@emilymbender I love the phrase "correctile dysfunction"
Ronah's ARP 
What about womansplaining!?
Matt Hames@emilymbender How did the mansplainer die?
He fell into a well, actually.
Judmarc@emilymbender Getting the chance to learn from an expert is an opportunity I would hope not to waste bloviating ignorantly.
