> men assume that women aren't competent in mathematical and technical fields at first glance and presume without cause that they need it explained to them by those men. Wow, what a minefield. I don't expect anybody to be competent in mathematical or technical fields, so I generally start from the beginning until somebody says "Oh, I already worked with this particular tech stack this is the problem I can't figure out." Immediately attributing that to the fact that they're women and the main thing they need is explanation, by a man, that's a huge leap. Calling it Mansplaining is horrible. Like somebody else pointed out, condescending is the gender neutral way to say it, and calling it mansplaing indicates it's problem exclusive to men. Can Caitlyn Jenner mansplain? Can Oprah mansplain?
