I've often heard men say that at this rate they won't be able to have a normal conversation with a woman without accused of being a mansplainer. So here's a few pointers to check if YOU ARE A MANSPLAINER.

1. Did she specifically ask for your opinion? + https://twitter.com/ranjona/status/1333657030972719106
2. Did she indicate in any way that needs knowledge about the subject?
3. Did she engage you in a conversation voluntarily about the subject?
4. Did she utter these words, "can someone help me understand this subject?" +
5. Did you check from publicly available info if she's an expert in that subject?
6. If she is, do you consider yourself to be possessing greater knowledge that her in the subject?
7. If you do, see point no. 1, 2, 3
8. Are you mansplaining what mansplaining is to her when she objects to your mansplaining?
9. Want to still participate in the conversation bec you feel you have valuable things to add? Say, "I hear you & I have a slightly diff take. If you're ok to hear, I'd love to engage"
