Full of emotion, wit and wisdom; thank you.
One of the most telling things about mansplaining (which most women experience so often) is the fact that many men GO CRAZY when they are called out on this way of self entitlement. At this point I really enjoy how they make such an effort to deny what they do. (And for those men who will probably try to "mansplaing" this experience to me, don´t even bother: I won´t read your comments.) We will no longer remain silent. Great book!
Well said
I know! This comment section is an inadvertently hilarious example of that. Many more comments from men than women, explaining why this video is wrong.
On videos where men are actually explaining things to women, almost all the comments are in enthusiastic agreement, and any voices to the contrary get shouted down. Amazing.
@shaka mata _ African pride Women gave birth to everyone who has ever existed, so I think we're even.
@shaka mata _ African pride Keep telling yourself that, mate. Are Europeans also better than Africans because they colonized you?
@rockobocko25 Maybe stop being a prick, 'rockobocko'. (Sounds like a gay bar.)
Very worthwhile book.
When reading Solnit's book/ essays, I had the strong impression that I
have been in just the same situations many times. That is, having
overconfident, usually elder, men explain stuff to me that I actually
know better---just that I, too, am a man. Could it be that this
phenomenon actually refers to a subset of men who do this to almost
anybody, rather than exclusively to women?
Yeah I think it’s like a personality thing found mostly in guys. I don’t see whey a guy couldn’t do it to another guy.
"mansplaining" is ABOUT how a certain kind of condescension occurs exclusively to women in the sense that it's BECAUSE of our femaleness. many men condescend specifically to women. so you're asking whether this phenomenon refers to a subset of men... you mean a subset of mansplainers who do it to everyone? how is the ENTIRE phenomenon refer to a subset of itself?
please don't do silly things like throw set theory out the window in a desperate attempt to avoid admitting that men treat women like s h i t, generally speaking. admit the obvious truth and stand up for it.
How do you tell that it's happening because of femaleness? In my experience, this behavior usually doesn't start with an opening phrase like "because you're female, let me..." In any way, it doesn't look like you want a constructive discussion, and I probably shouldn't have responded. Do you really believe all men treat all women like sh*t?
@@pamphletier that's right, troll. if someone doesn't open with "because you are female i will do x", they aren't doing it because you are female. GREAT LOGIC.
lmfao.
again: men treat women like s h i t, generally speaking.
do you know what GENERALLY SPEAKING, means, troll? lol
you lost. deal with it. :)
now as i said, friends: many men mansplain. the explain x to women as they *assume* we do not know x. they believe themselves to be more intelligent (LOL) and more knowledgeable than the average woman. about everything. even if they know nothing about it.
we are done and over the past decade, it has been fun to watch girls and women DESTROY the losers who mansplain. in public with lots of peeps watching and laughing. sweet victory, on repeat.
Hilarious and powerful! Thank you Rebecca Solnit!
Thank you, BookTV for posting this. I read her essay for an academic assignment but, listening it from her lips was much more productive. Does someone have the full presentation?
You can find the full presentation on our website here: cs.pn/3nhfpMd. You can also use the search function to find other presentations by Rebecca Solnit and the other authors we've covered.
Hi why the website doesn't work ?@@BookTV
Oddly, I distinctly heard her qualify her statements, saying that "some men" did this, and also that many male friends and colleagues and also her brother didn't fall into the trap of going on at length about things they knew nothing about. She also said that some women she'd met also fell into this trap, although that it seemed more common among men. From my own (male) perspective, I've certainly known more male "blowhards" - a term I have never heard anyone apply to a woman - than female equivalents. Perhaps I have just been fortunate in that respect.
Yes. Far more. Just tonight I was sitting outside at a table at a busy intersection, trying to concentrate on writing some stuff, beside a guy who was perfectly sober but swearing a blue streak and loudly referring to women as "bitches" and "hoes". All the women he shouted at either did not reply, or replied politely that they weren't interested in "partying" with him. He followed one who was alone across the street after she told him she wasn't interested. (He did stop after about 30 seconds.)
Fortunately, the police station was just down the street, this is a university city in Canada, and I told his friend the cops might show up if he kept acting like that. Both of them calmed down. Funny how the threat of spending the night in a cell can suddenly make men have self-control that they supposedly lacked before. "Men can't help themselves if women wear sexy clothing...until they get worried about the cops showing up. Then they have plenty."
I'm a man. I just wonder, what the hell is going on in men's heads that makes them think they can act like this?
i believe the original term is "mouth-breather" describing those who speak senselessly of any age or sex, but unfortunately the popular words are only aimed at men because it is fashionable in modern society to criticize men.
yes some men are rude, yes some women are rude, but most women are so thin skinned that any word from a man must feel like punishment.
"oddly" what? what are you pointing out here? you just kind of said something is odd and then never got to what it was. if you're calling the phrase "mansplaining" into question.. well you didn't. the term makes perfect sense and we've needed a word for this for a long time.
when a woman explains condescendingly, she just gets called a b*** instead of a blowhard. and b*** is a slur just like the n word is a slur. men and men's lackeys don't see us as equals, so they don't insult us with words that highlight the flaw, they insult us with words that highlight our SEX.
that is the difference. we are trapped in a different world and it's by male design. because that is how male people feel superior in the context of their fragile egos.

I'm late to knowing the origin of this concept "Mansplaining". It does well to encompass a male-ego type of vanity, but I doubt the modalities of ego-vanity are so singular and gender specific. Makes me wonder how many other forms there are, based on formula where (gender+ego+vanity=X)
Brilliance personified.
inspirational!
Interesting woman.
I could give you many examples of women doing exactly the same thing. For instance, my ex-girlfriend used to lecture me on subjects that she knew virtually nothing about. One time, we were talking about Latin America and what the definition of "Latin America" actually is. For some reason, my girlfriend was trying to tell me that *only* Mexico, Cuba and Puerto Rico count as Latin American countries. I obviously disagreed with her and I told her that, in fact, there are many more Latin American countries such as Peru, Costa Rica, Argentina, Honduras, etc. She didn't believe me, so we looked it up, and it turned out that I was correct. However, she refused to admit that she was wrong and she kept shouting over me and going "No no no! I don't care what you say, I'm not listening!"
A while later, we started discussing the word "Hispanic". My girlfriend insisted that Richard Nixon had invented to word Hispanic by combining the words "his" and "panic", and based on that, she insisted that "Hispanic" is a racist word. I knew this was wrong and I told her that the word Hispanic actually comes from the Roman word "Hispania" which was an ancient term for Iberia. Once again, she didn't believe me, so we looked it up, and it turned out that I was right and she was wrong. And once again, she refused to admit that she was wrong and proceeded to shout over me again. What makes this worse is that I'm British and my girlfriend was American, and at the time, I was about 21-years-old and she was about 39, yet she was acting like a baby.
I have many more examples of this kind of thing. So, I don't buy this bullshit that only men are smug and arrogant, I've seen women acting like morons many times before. Just because *some* women act like idiots that doesn't mean most or all women are like that. We can all cherry-pick instances where the opposite sex has behaved in a fatuous way, it doesn't prove anything. It's just pointless and pathetic.
Kek Your Privilege That anecdotal evidence with your girlfriend does not contradict what many women have confirmed having experienced and what Ms. Solnit is talking about: men often act as if they were entitled to instruct women about stuff they don't know much. Please also note that Ms. Solnit has admitted in her book that not all men act like this, yet that's still a frequent problem.
Incredible how you have to make it about yourself, completely proving the point
You have totally explained things to women here. Holy shit.
@@squamish4244 So, excuse me for exaggerating, but the whole thing seems rather hyperbolic...basically, a man shouldn't ever have to explain anything to a woman?
You could remember that you really have no idea what things are like from a woman's perspective, and don't try to explain to her why she's wrong about things that pertain to women. Try listening first. Start with that.
"But I already do!" No, probably not.
must have been a man recording this and couldn't listen another minute, hence the abrupt cut off...
Mansplaining is a misguided term and should be abolished. It simply does not reflect reality. They should just be called arrogant people, regardless of gender. Both men and women can interrupt rudely and act like they know it all. So if a woman interrupts, can we call it womansplaining? The term also does not take into account the effects of culture, roles in society and personality. There have also been updated studies to show that men do not interrupt any more than women do. It's simply a myth based on subjective experience and outdated research.
If you don't like it, then don't live up to it and don't expect everyone to pat you on the back just for not being a jerk. Many misguided terms out there refer to women. That does not entitle us to abolish free speech.
candom rommenter hmm... I didn’t call anyone a jerk. Geez.
@candom rommenter nor did I actually support the term.
Mansplaining is more specific than just being arrogant. It describes a phenomenon where some men are exponentially more patronizing and dismissive toward women, even when the woman he is addressing is an expert on the subject.
If a man is arrogant he is arrogant to everyone. An arrogant woman too feels superior to everyone. Mansplaining is a gender-based behavior. And there are definitely many men who interrupt women rudely much more than they interrupt men. If you haven't experienced that... you must be a man.
@shaka mata _ African pride Not sure what your point is. Does that make sexism ok?
I have experienced the opposite of this primarily. Namely that if this phenomenon is gendered then women have been the perpetrators
I just wanted to listen to a good song not a shit book

load of tripe
I'd just like to say it's great to have a wife who can butcher all the animals I kill. One who doesn't complain when my hunting dogs steal food right off her plate and leave her bruised and scratched from bites. One who cooks great meals inspired by culinary traditions the world over. One who doesn't mind looking after the dogs when I spend long days floating trout rivers in my drift boat. That's the kind of woman worth having around.
Ok weirdo. You let your animals maul and bruise your wife while they steal food off her plate? She cooks and stays home while you do as you please.
@@yeshalloween lol, don't worry, she takes the broom after the dog when she needs to. I built a custom jet boat this summer and took her on some great adventures. It works. that is all...
I'm happy that you were happy when you wrote this, dear 🙏🏼
