About this listen

Episode 1 explores the origins and definition of mansplaining, tracing it to Rebecca Solnit's 2008 essay "Men Explain Things to Me." Maya Chen breaks down the key components: assumption of ignorance, condescending tone, unsolicited explanation, and failure to check what someone already knows. The episode examines why mansplaining matters beyond individual annoyance, revealing how it reinforces power dynamics and undermines expertise systematically. Through workplace, medical, social, and online scenarios, Maya illustrates how the pattern appears across contexts. She explores the psychology behind it, including gender socialization and implicit bias, while carefully distinguishing mansplaining from helpful explanation. The episode addresses neurodivergent communication styles and concludes with initial strategies for recognizing and interrupting the pattern.
