@sundogplanets My guess is that the serious mansplainers simply will not (or cannot) acknowledge that SHE is a well-known expert and/or has more relevant experience than they have, so they will never get to the red boxes. They are also unlikely to ask if she needs and explantion, so that path is out as well.
@lipow @sundogplanets
Exactly. -

This is a terrific chart that explains the issue. Maybe just simplify the chart and say 'yes' or everything else 'no'. Of course, most of these guys won't take no for an answer either. -

For conferences, print a compact version that fits inside the plastic pocket you get for your conference ID and put it in the back, so you can just flip the badge to show it.

https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20180727-mansplaining-explained-in-one-chartHi Prof.
Yes... butIn the moment, it often really really really LOOKS like I have more experience in X, and like how would I know?
Asking someone if they need help is also fraught and often gets the "are you fucking kidding me? OF COURSE I NEED HELP!"However, yes, mansplaining is rife, irritating, and actually kinda abusive, and I am happy to balance my quandary by just getting yelled at occasionally for being slow to help

https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20180727-mansplaining-explained-in-one-chart@sundogplanets Thx for the diagram! I find most of the paths very logical and obvious. But that last 'did you ask' box before you get to 'not mansplaining' is a bit of an eye opener.
How should we phrase that question though? I'm afraid that 'would you like me to explain that?' would be really condescending :^]. -

When you feel yourself about to explain something, ask her "Are you familiar with _____?". She can either tell you what she knows or ask for an explanation so, that the two of you can establish a common starting point for the next part of conversation.

Handing over your card with this chart could be fun too.

@socketwench I LOVE THIS IDEA
Shall we crowd fund this?

@LauraleeDukeshire @sundogplanets Simple and elegant... thx!
@ives @sundogplanets I'll also add that if one catches themself mansplaining (ie. One is explaining and sees "that look" on her face), one can always course correct with a quick, "sorry, I didn't ask if you already know this." And see what she says. A lot of us will appreciate and give grace to someone who is trying to do better.

Say, is there any chance you can get this one into orbit?

https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20180727-mansplaining-explained-in-one-chart@sundogplanets On the downside, I don't read people's pinned posts before replying to them. On the upside, I don't see how could pinning it possibly hurt
