Allow me to explain why we don’t need words like mansplaining in the workplace

How the word ‘mansplaining’ has become so widely diffuse over the last years and – most important – what does it mean?

Mansplaining is a new term which has become part of modern life and was one of the New York Times words of the year. Mansplaining is literally a mash-up of the word ‘man’ and the ending of the verb ‘explain’ used to describe a frustrating situation when a man explains things to a woman. Of course, it is not necessary. Of course, it is just annoying. And, of course, is a complete disrespect in women capabilities.

So, why men do this, especially in the workplace? Actually, I think that the problem is more complex. Mansplaining is not just a regular a explanation, which people of both genders do daily, mansplaining occurs where the man talks in a condescending manner to a woman about a subject or issue she already understands. So, it is a gendered issue whereby the man automatically assumes he knows more on the subject.

While women are certainly not equal at work – a recent survey and research show that "women only speak for 25 percent of the time in meetings, while men speak for the remaining 75 percent. Men not only share ideas more, they interrupt women more often than they do other men." Some women have started banding together to help each other; when getting mansplained women can redirect to another woman and ask for her opinion. It is just a way to delicately share the time more equitably. Read other practices.
