I think it’s fair to point out that there is a trend where men will do this to women in situations where they would never do it to another man. The way people use the term annoys me more often than not but I still think it’s a valid concept.
You underestimate my need of superiority, every one will deserve my explanation, men, women, children, fish, cat and dog, and the explanation of my explanation and it’s prequel and sequel. Yep, I have adhd.
You want to be treated like a man (if you are a girl)?
I don’t understand why people are surprised there are gender differences. It’s supposed to be. And we are supposed to react to eachother, be different to eachother. It’s natural biologically and physically and this is completely obvious.
You think women don’t explain to men how something works a million times a day? I hear it so often I can’t even count. It’s perfectly natural.
Agreed. I tend not to shut the hell up when you get me rolling on certain topics - it’s not a dig at the people I’m talking to, that’s just how getting excited do.
Now a days I just preface it with “feel free to shut me up” and if that disclaimer doesn’t do the trick, it’s on the other party. :P
It is a very real thing and it happens at every level of organization. Talk to pretty much any woman engineer or manager and you’ll be able to get very many stories of men explaining the woman’s area of expertise to them. I’ve seen it happening everywhere from office stand up meetings to academic conferences where people have specializations as narrow as evolutionary models of pro-social behaviors in apes.
Yes, many of us are enthusiastic about our areas of expertise. I can go on for paragraphs about the evolution of sociality. That’s a completely different thing than trying to explain what misogyny actually means when talking to a person with a PhD in Women’s Studies.

Get yourself one of these
I have a little yoda sitting on my desktop screen. Sometimes I treat it like a rubber ducky.

It’s like double standard, it’s just hypocrisy.

A co-worker once explained to an attractive lady who ran a cake shop how to make cheese cake. In great detail.
He’d just eaten a piece of excellent cheese cake that she’d made.

You believe being a certain gender means my opinion is automatically wrong.
