Just for the record I’ve had Women mansplain too…

Agree. Manaplain is kind of a sexist and stereotyping word to use. If we as women don’t want others to treat us that way and call us crazy and hormonal and PMSing and all that then I don’t know why we think it’s ok to treat others that way.

Sorry to hear that. I long for a day when every man will default to assuming that every woman is competent in her field.

My friend works in-house at a national home-goods chain. Management recently told the entire design team they are barred from having portfolio websites and shouldn’t promote themselves while working for the company. They are also barred from posting work on social media, even if it’s already launched and in the public domain. This seems wholly unreasonable to me. Are demands like this common? Or enforceable?
