Deja Vu: 6 Mansplaining Scenarios Women Are Tired of Experiencing

DEJA VU

Have you ever been in a situation where a man explains something to you that you already know well? This phenomenon is commonly known as ‘mansplaining’. It’s more than just a buzzword; it represents a cultural pattern where some men, perhaps without realizing it, assume a woman might not understand a subject as well as they do.

Based on real-life stories shared in an online forum, we’ve compiled ten examples that illustrate this frustrating yet common experience many women face. Let’s take a closer look at these instances and the insights they offer into the world of mansplaining.

After a terrible car accident, a woman was left with many injuries after a terrible car accident, including a dislocated knee joint. On searching for a surgeon to repair the knee joint, the woman came across a male doctor who refused to believe she even dislocated her knee joint.

A female animal control officer shares that after receiving a call to free a squirrel from a trap, she arrived at a man’s garage and devised a simple plan to release the squirrel using her expertise.

After attempting a bumpy descent on a flight to Dubrovnik, Croatia, the pilot postponed the landing and instead went to wait at another airport until weather conditions cleared up. When the female pilot left the pit to explain the issue, some men on the plane were tired of waiting.

Women can’t escape mansplaining even when it comes to giving birth. When one woman, pregnant with her sixth child, took a bath, her water broke, and her husband rushed her to the hospital. But when they arrived, the doctor told the couple that the woman’s water didn’t break at all. It was just the bathwater, he argued.

“I am a female mechanic,” shares one user, “and I have 15 years of experience. I’m fully certified through multiple governing bodies and currently lead my company’s busiest shop in the metro Atlanta area.”

Replacing Car Part

Mansplaining doesn’t just happen in the workplace, it can also occur in the home. A woman and her husband drove home from the beach on roads lined with trees when he decided to mansplain the wind to his wife. The two noticed the wind had picked up, and the wife asked her husband if he could still go fishing in these conditions.
