@dpnash @actuallyautistic @allautistics yeah, I've been on the wrong end of mansplainers myself. Being a smart AFAB, I've certainly seen my share of guys getting irrationally angry that I already know about the thing they're trying to impress me with. I have more issues with that IRL, and it's really impacted my ability to socialize. Online I don't have to deal with the potential danger, but then I get lumped in with the assholes who make offline hell so I can't make friends here, either
A few years ago I sat in a meeting while a (no longer here) electronics engineer mansplained astronomy to the (female) program lead scientist who was visiting from NASA.
It was entertaining AF when she explained all the very many ways he got it wrong.
