RE: https://dair-community.social/@emilymbender/117311315748802405 My theory on why there is so much mansplanation here is that there aren't people you can safely explain to. If you're an explainer on mastodon, your options are eight phds and six authors; if you explain, it's inevitably a mansplanation. Elsewhere, there are normies so you can vent your explanation energy to without mansplaining. Here, even on topics I do know about, if I try to contribute to a relevant discussion, I embarrass myself because everyone here is the smartest person I've encountered.
