@mavnn @the_art_of_giving_up i don't really use the term "mansplaining" but i am semi-regularly on the receiving end of someone on fedi explaining to me things i very clearly already know—sometimes the very post they're replying to. i think there's also a component of, how do i put it, showing off? sometimes it's expressed as "I'm explaining it for the benefits of other people seeing this post", which, I mean sure but it still sends me a notification!
@[email protected] @[email protected] fair, fair. In wanting to get through to people trying not to be an arse I can see my wording ignores other common causes of over explanation like "no, I really am an arse" and "insecurity".
