It must be so rewarding to go through 5+ years of university, become an expert in a topic, receive your PhD, all that jazz, and then still continue to get gaslighted by people who know literally nothing about anything. I don't know how these people keep their cool. I guess just knowing that you are extremely intelligent is enough to allow you to resist the urge to explode all over them. Plus, exploding won't change anything, mansplainers are always going to mansplain. We must accept it, it's truly in their nature.
Perhaps the best tactic is just to laugh at them. And what better place than on Twitter?
Twitter user @Sydonahi is a woman who earned a PhD on supernovae, she clearly knows a thing or two about massive stars, but she invited people to mansplain her area of expertise to her. Clearly it's something she's already used to as a successful woman in STEM but she said, "Hey, why not just see how creative people can be?"
I love how a lot of women commented too. They obviously have been mansplained to enough to guess what people might say to a female with a PhD. It's kind of eye-opening how realistic these comments seem at times, but most of them are just straight-up ridiculous, and that's the best part.
