I have a file on my desktop titled Mansplaining Olympic Tryouts, mostly screenshots of some of the most epic specimens I've come across on social media or that people have steered my way.They're grimly hilarious: a man explaining vaginas to a noted female gynaecologist, a man telling Sinn Fein adviser Siobhan Fenton to read the Good Friday agreement (she replied with a picture of herself with the book she wrote on that agreement), and the famous incident with Dr Jessica McCarty, about which she tweeted: At a Nasa Earth meeting 10 years ago, a white male postdoc interrupted me to tell me that I don't understand human drivers of fire, that I def needed to read McCarty et al.
