Let's all talk about manspaining

[HairOfTheDog]

Years ago our refrigerator broke and when the old guy came to repair it my husband asked him a stupid question. I don't remember what it was, but I remember that I even thought it was stupid. The old guy looked at my husband and said "are you retarded, son?".

Another time my mom called him retarded when he was changing my daughter's diaper and wiping the wrong way.

There have been so many incidents, he's the victim of man-splaining/ woman-splaining way more than me.

  Poor guy.  

That's not mansplaining or womansplaining or whatever.

It's just outright insulting his intelligence and calling him names when he's clearly demonstrated that he doesn't know what he's talking about or doing.

If the old refrigerator guy or your mom started explaining basic roofing, or weight-lifting, or how to raise a family (assuming without cause that your husband was less knowledgeable than them)............that would be closer to mansplaining.
