Vox.com: "Godine 1990. čitatelj kolumne "Pitajte Marilyn", novinarke Marilyn vos Savant (Parade Magazin), postavio je pitanje. Vos Savant je na pitanje odgovorila točno, ali je njen odgovor takao živac statističara, matematičara i matematičkih entuzijasta diljem svijeta. Nisu joj vjerovali, bez obzira na koliko im načina crtala rješenje. Video objašnjava matematički problem i priča o jednom od najgorih slučajeva mansplaininga u povijesti statistike."
Mansplaining is a portmanteau of the words man and explaining, defined as "to explain something to someone, typically a man to woman, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing." Lily Rothman of The Atlantic defines it as "explaining without regard to the fact that the explainee knows more than the explainer, often done by a man to a woman," and author and essayist Rebecca Solnit ascribes the phenomenon to a combination of "overconfidence and cluelessness" that some men display.
mansplain 1. (informal) To explain (something) condescendingly (to a female listener), especially to explain something the listener already knows, presuming that she has an inferior understanding of it because she is a woman.
