"Mansplaining is a condescending, arrogant, and entitled expression of privilege. I’ve also seen white people acting out the same behaviors you describe to people of color, … 'Splaining of all sorts is often done by people who expect to be recognized for sharing their opinions. People who have historically not been heard bear the brunt of being 'splained to by people who are used to holding privilege and doing all of the 'splaining. Workspaces that allow people to 'splain to other people—mansplaining or otherwise—prioritize some people's experience over others' and allow for people to systematically go unheard."
