Conversation with ex girlfriend: Her: I just got my car back from the garage. They told me to keep an eye on the tyre wear, but I don’t really know what that means or how to do it. Me: I can show you how to do that if you like? Her: I don’t need you to mansplain things to me! MAN KNOW CAR THING, WOMAN NO DO.

I stopped myself from correcting her interpretation of mansplaining, because it was clear that any man was forbidden from communicating normally with her.

“You said you didn’t know. But i know. Leave gender out of this.”

Would that work?
