Ever been in a conversation where someone explains something to you that you already understand—just because they assume you don’t? 🤦♀️
Mansplaining is more than just an annoyance. It’s often a fear response—a resistance to acknowledging that another valid perspective exists. And here’s the key: it’s not our job to soothe that insecurity.
💡 The issue runs deeper than just "talking over someone." Our society symbolically codes facts as masculine and values as feminine—but facts don’t exist in a vacuum. They are always shaped by the value systems we hold. This is why people with different values interpret the same facts in completely different ways. In reality, many debates aren’t about facts at all—they’re about clashing value systems. And power dynamics.
🚫 But let’s be clear: This doesn’t mean we stay silent. It means we don’t waste energy over-explaining ourselves to someone who refuses to listen. Instead of engaging in an endless back-and-forth, it’s enough to say:
👉 “As I already said, I have a different perspective.”
