The comments in this posts have everything I hoped to not see again once I left reddit for Lemmy 😭

Like I've been mansplined before and it wasn't fun. And no, women are less likely to do that because of societal reasons, not genetics 😂. I'm not even sure if some of the comments come from scientists, with the amount of confusion over social/genetic causes.

Anyways, if you think someone needs help with something, always ask. And when talking to someone, ESPECIALLY if it's a colleague/classmate, don't try dumbing down the conversation unless you know the person you're talking to won't understand it.

Tbh my only gripe with this post is the assumption that because a man is explaining something to a group of women, it's automatically mansplaining. Although I guess it's a joke so whatever.

Yeah it's not meant to be taken seriously. It's because of the girls' deadpanned expression that it was just twisted this way. Nobody actually believes that this picture is mansplaining. Just a funny coincidence.
