I know this post might piss off some people here, but let’s be honest almost every day, we women get mansplained. At home, at work, and sometimes even by an auto-wale bhaiya about our work, our bodies, and even things we never asked anyone to explain, correct, or simplify. It’s ironic how we celebrate “equality” in every Women’s Day post, yet one deeply rooted mindset like mansplaining still exists. And yes, it can trigger any feminist like me 🙈 Mansplaining isn’t harmless or “just helping.” It comes from the assumption that a woman must be missing something and a man needs to fill in the gaps. Here’s one simple advice to all men: If she didn’t ask, pause. If she already knows, listen. Because sometimes, silence is also a contribution.
