The comments in this posts have everything I hoped to not see again once I left reddit for Lemmy 😭

Like I've been mansplined before and it wasn't fun. And no, women are less likely to do that because of societal reasons, not genetics 😂. I'm not even sure if some of the comments come from scientists, with the amount of confusion over social/genetic causes.

Anyways, if you think someone needs help with something, always ask. And when talking to someone, ESPECIALLY if it's a colleague/classmate, don't try dumbing down the conversation unless you know the person you're talking to won't understand it.

Going meta is always allowed. Just say you're dumbing it down, that you don't mean to be condescending, and invite them to interrupt if they already understand.

Yes, exactly!
