Girl Power? Mansplaining at work is 40 times more common than you think
He Just Can’t Help It
Sometimes knowing better is still not enough to stop mansplainers from doing their thing. That’s clearly the case in this story, where a male worker felt the need to explain an Excel worksheet he knew his female colleague made. Which makes us think: Can mansplaining be a compulsion that some people just can’t control?
Whatever the real explanation is, we still don’t think this should be an acceptable way to treat co-workers, though. What’s more, spending 45 minutes going over something that’s already been understood is just not an efficient use of anyone’s time.
