"While mansplaining can be frustrating to witness, it's not always helpful to call people out. … Focus on how you're feeling about his behavior, don't attack him. … Personally, you can draw a line about what's okay and not okay when you talk with him … some men who mansplain are likely to think women are "ganging up on them" for anything, and they may see women as confrontational or in conflict just for asserting their right to be heard … any man with that response is not going to be one of your allies as you work to build a better environment."
