@djr @dangillmor @BBCRD @BBC5Live @BBCRadio4 @BBCTaster @Connected_Studio @BBC_News_Labs well it started well enough on the first @BBCRadio4 post with welcomes but soon enough the #Mansplainers and #Sealions started to butt in to tell them how to post properly.

Hmmm…how should I say this…if you are a man, and you reply to a woman’s post only to restate what she’s saying in a pedantic way, that’s #mansplaining

(Cue the #mansplainers in the responses 🙄)

Not even remotely comforting to know that #Mastodon has its share of #mansplainers

I think there are far more #mansplainers on Mastodon than other social networking sites.

And I don't think it's about people being helpful.

I think it's about men not listening.

@JimM

Friend of mine remarked last week that #ChatGPT won't replace #teachers, #therapists, or #artists but men

@lisawilliams

I'm now imagining a #Mastodon instance called @mansplaining.party .

We convince all the #mansplainers to set up shop there, and block everything originating from it.

I thought it was too good to be true. I've seen a few people say that #mansplainers are arriving, fresh from bird site and full of "well actually". Here are some useful #memes you can download and use when necessary
