I find that most often when the word mansplaining is used, it is to shame men for knowing more about a topic than a woman. . .or correcting a woman's false understanding about something.

It is pure intellectual insecurity.

Gentlemen, your wife/fiancee/girlfriend wants to hear her opinion spoken in your voice. It is part of a bizarre feedback loop that every single woman on Earth is afflicted with.

Ladies, if you deny this you are flat out lying.

Men, if you didn't know this, now you do. You're welcome.

Signed,

A guy that's been married for over 20 years.

The use of the word shows she's very insecure. Itsused by women who feel inferior to men.

Blessed my wife is a “just to the right of Oswald Mosley” staunch anti feminist! She’s a bright well read educated lady and firmly believes the genesis of the ills of the west is suffrage.

The good news is this is coming out now.

You may suggest "we take a break for a while" and see how she handles it.

Let her know her insecurities need to be dealt with...that you need a partner who is loving, supportive and forgiving. She is being manipulative

Selfish type thinking is destroying her from with in...because her self talk "everyone talks down to me" (women) isn't a good because is blatantly untrue...thus not from God...

Spiritual counseling recommended

Yea like others have said you need to talk with her about the sudden change but probably not going to do any good as she already has it in her mind you think as her as inferior.

Thing is it might not be a bad thing as your description of her might save you in the long run.

She sounds like she will run off with a girl named “Pat” in about 3-4 years anyway and live the liberal dream leaving you with a messy divorce.

If it’s not too late, you should ”give her space” to address her insecurities....but this does not look good.

Run, run, run, run


You’ll be divorced or absolutely miserable within two years. I’ll bet the farm on that.

.5) Mansplain is a stupid concept.

1) She handled it wrong by snapping and crying. That was an attempt to guilt you into seeing things her way and only made her look weak and emotional. She should have let you ramble, then looked you dead in the eye and said "Yeah" before verbally demonstrating exactly how much more she knew about the subject than you did.

2) Lack of intent is not absolution. You need to stop running off at the mouth before you turn into one of those know-it-alls that just has to spout everything they know (and a lot that they don't) about any given subject to whomever has the misfortune to be in front of you, male or female.

3) If she thinks you exhibited condescension and disrespect, she would have hated the 50s-60s.

It's just another manifestation of the subtle bigotry of lowered expectations, and the term itself is guilty of the very thing it derides.

The use of the term usually amounts to no more than a puerile (pardon the masculine Latin) attempt to circumvent a substantive conversation. It's ironically a form of ad hominem fallacy.

I would counter the accusation with, "Honey, I understand you're just mensplaining. It'll be over in a couple days."

If anybody in this thread is even remotely agreeing or acknowledging mansplaining you are a waste of everybody's time.

This is the most bull shite/absurd term in this decade and that is saying something. Only in our current state of society would someone even think of something like that.

With that being said...

I already know what’s going to happen



OP is going to completely ignore 95% of this thread’s advice and stay with her. One day, she’s gonna come home with a KAREN haircut, and he won’t think much of it til she colors it purple a few days later and starts watching CNN all the time before heading out to her protest at the local Whole Foods in her prius with her Bernie Sanders 2024 sticker on the back
