context: male graduate nurse who works on my unit makes it his life goal to make sure I along with all the other nurses (who have been working here for years - and I've been in this specific unit way longer than he has) know how smart he is and how dumb we all are (even though we aren't, and know what we're talking about).

Literally was asking the nurse I was paired with about the etiology of a certain respiratory issue that I had recently observed and was reading up on, when he chimed in trying to correct both of us when he DIDN'T FUCKING KNOW WHAT WE WERE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT TO BEGIN WITH and just kept going with it. We were both giving him the "are you fucking serious right now" death stare.

Literally have never had this issue working alongside female nursing students and graduate nurses, and have only seen the males do this shit.

Oh well, he's in for a rude awakening when he starts orientation. Physicians/NPs/PAs aren't gonna put up with him, neither are fellow nurses.

inb4 people who use the term mansplaining are annoying durrrr

Sounds like it's annoying. I've had the same thing happen coming from both men and women.

You seem extra-angry, and sorta anti-male lately. Something happen?

Eh, it's mostly men from what I see.
I'm also talking specifically in the context of men talking down to women like they are inherently stupid as a result of being female.

This, I can't stand that "being an asshole" has magically turned into "mansplaining" as if men are the only ones capable of doing this.

Mansplaining is literally a sexist term to keep men quiet. Imagine if some guy tried to make the term womansplaining a thing. The attacks on social media calling him a sexist asshole would be huge

Well I mean women are traditionally brought up to not feel as secure in their knowledge, so it doesn't really happen that often.

You don't need to be a woman to be dumb
I don't need to be a man to be smart
When a smart man tells a dumb woman what's up, it's not mansplaining

When a man tells a woman what's up, because, as a woman, she clearly has no idea wtf she's talking about, then, yes, it's mansplaining

and I hate the irony of condescendingly explaining what mansplaining is to some dumb female.

Male nurses are just fewer in number than female nurses. I used to volunteer at nursing homes and I am now at nursing school and the females are overwhelmingly more than the male. Like 4-1 or more kind of overwhelming.

Oh wait, this isn't about the tech industry? So we can't publish? Got it.

The difference is that because of that discrepancy men could easily get into nursing if they wanted to

Yeah - though they genuinely get better job opportunities and advance much faster than female nurses.

You chose a good career path, especially if you go on to get your RN license - you'll have endless opportunities in any specialty you want.

I can see why it might be overwhelming, though.

Women can easily get into tech if they wanted to as well.

Keep in mind that male nurses/teachers are discouraged from staying in those fields by how much they are slanted towards women and how men are perceived when they're in those roles (predators, etc).

Even when the person doing it is clearly actually mansplaining?

He also told a female nurse that women don't have prostates, when she jokingly said a certain food would be good for her prostate.
This dude literally thinks that nurses of 5+ years don't even know their own fucking anatomy ... like ... for real.

I normally like the TC but women do this too.

The owner at my last job at a piercing store told me how to do my job constantly even though I knew way more about the jewelry than her.

The manager at a drug/convenience store I worked at bitched at me constantly even though my actual supervisors said I was doing a good job.

It's not just a man thing by any stretch.

He's either an asshole or bad at returning a joke. That has nothing to do with him being a man. The term acts like only men are condescending assholes. If we had a women-based version and both were used commonly, there would be no problem, but the whole narrative of the term is to apply some kind of weird standard to men specifically
