Ugh, mansplaining. 😑 As a female software engineer, I deal with it way too often. Just the other day, a male colleague tried to explain a basic coding concept to me that I literally taught him last month. How do you ladies handle these situations? Do you politely correct them, or just let it slide to avoid conflict? I'm tired of being patronized, but also don't want to be labeled as "difficult." Any advice on how to navigate this gracefully but firmly?
