Mansplaining was invented in the German countryside in 1874 when a gentleman realized how enthralling his commentary would be to a young woman on a train. Artist Berthold Woltze captured the scene so that men everywhere would become aware of the gentleman’s amazing discovery.

@LilahTovMoon I feel like there must be a new word for when men see a woman alone and feel it’s their right and obligation to invade her personal space and demand her attention and engagement. It’s like verbal man spreading

@seachanger

The phenomenon you mention was discovered very early by Artemisia Gentileschi in 1610 when she painted her first famous painting "Susanna and the Elders"

@seachanger @LilahTovMoon I remember coming across a video of a woman on the New York subway wearing headphones. A guy comes up to her and asks, “What are you listening to?” And she takes the headphones off and says, “Nothing, I just wear these so men won’t come up to me and start a conversation.” There’s an awkward pause, then she puts her headphones back on and goes about her day.

@LilahTovMoon to be honest I think mostly the girl's face has something heartbreaking as ... is she crying? She is on a train, an old creep approaches and obviously nobody helps ...
It's quite scary to see this kind of situation somehow also existed back then. I am totally serious about that as ... look into her eyes. She is scared. She asks for help.
