10 Women Reveal The Mansplaining Moments They Experienced On A Date

Ahhh, classic mansplaining. Women have unfortunately been subjected to being mansplained most likely since the beginning of time. What is mansplaining, you ask? According to the Urban Dictionary, mansplaining is when someone (typically a man) 'explains' something to another person about a topic they are already familiar with/understand. This is typically done in a condescending manner under the pretense that the speaker knows more about the topic than who they are speaking to, i.e. they are subordinate. Sidenote: it is okay to know a lot about a topic and make this known in conversation, but assuming that you know more than someone else, not accepting if you are wrong, not accepting that they may simply be more knowledgeable, and/or doing so in a condescending manner means that you are mansplaining. This epidemic has plagued the dating scene and can ruin what could possibly be a lovely evening. We teamed up with dating blog The Single Society to bring you a list of ten women and the worst mansplaining they have ever experienced on a date.
