What Mansplaining IS and What It Is NOT (And How to Make It Stop!)

Mansplaining is more than condescension or interrupting, it’s where condescension intersects with power and privilege. Mansplaining is a condescending explanation by members of socially, culturally, or legally privileged groups in their interactions with those who don’t hold the same power and privilege.

In this episode, we deconstruct Androcentric Bias (the assumption that the male view is the norm or default), and Androcentrism (the tendency to center society around men’s needs and priorities).

This episode addresses where mansplaining is most prevalent (which domains) and provides some new solutions to a tiresome old problem.  It’s also a great episode for male allies who may be asking; how do I recognize mansplaining so I can be an upstander? #tunein
