The "shoot yourself in the junk" story and the "mansplaining art" story ought to hook up just to see how ugly their babies would be (assuming the first one still has at least one testicle left).
That mansplaining article is hilarious! And true, of course.
I realize mansplaining exists, I’ve seen it with my own eyes, but I think the term is over applied. As with most memes, it becomes elastic and stretched over the far fringes.
If I’m explaining something to someone who I have no idea of what they know, I explain things in detail because it’s those details we assume everyone knows that trip up understanding. If I’m explaining something to a colleague, I know pretty much what they know and can condense it.
