[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mansplain.  I once had a date go on and on about Renaissance art.  We were in a group and he just about lost it when another person at the table told him I had a Master's degree in Art History.[/quote]

So I totally agree re Mansplaining. But I don’t think the example you gave us actually mansplaining. It’s not like Renaissance art is a thing most people know a lot about that he could assume you knew about it, plus if other people were there it sounds like none of them had degrees in art history, only you. In all his ramblings you couldn’t have interjected a hey, that’s super interesting, as part of my art history studies we looked at... from the Renaissance...? If he still tried to teach you about Renaissance art AFTER knowing you had the degree then that would have been mansplaining.[/quote]

+1 Sounds like the guy was being a bit douchy though —here’s something no one else knows much about so I can impress my date!

I’ve talked to men who proceeded to tell me wrong details about foreign countries they didn’t know I’d lived in. Including a man who said “It’s really dangerous, but if you want to go sometime, I can keep you safe.”  At that point, I told him that I’d lived there during the height of the drug wars and could recommend some former military turned mercs if he wanted armed guards when he went back. He abruptly found someone he needed to talk to.[/quote]

How is this “mansplaining”?

If anything, you are the one “mainsplaining” by immediately contradicting what he said in a condescending way. No wonder he “abruptly” found someone else to talk to.[/quote]
