Mansplaining is a new-ish term for a phenomenon that's been happening I'm sure since the dawn of time. A woman trots along, minding her business, engaging in an activity she probably knows a thing or two about. Then bam, there's a man beside her saying, "Well, actually…" or "You should really try…" or "Common mistake but…" Even if they're well-intentioned, it can come across as condescending, patronizing, and well, just plain annoying. And sometimes they're even proven wrong.
You'd be hard-pressed to find an adult woman who hasn't at some point in her life faced the brunt end of a mansplaining. But it doesn't usually have such a satisfying ending as this one. Women who have experienced mansplaining have dreamed of the moment that this Redditor got to live through in real-time, at a bar with her friends. Read on for the story and see just how epically she was able to shut him down.
