The Book That Made Me Realize I Was a Mansplainer... Electric Literature, Feb. 20, 2018

https://electricliterature.com/the-book-that-made-me-realize-i-was-a-mansplainer-and-saved-my-marriage-fe9acee07ece

 

"As you can tell from my mansplanation of mansplaining, I have a tendency to mansplain. Given that most men do annoying things much more than they realize, I probably mansplain more often than I think. And, just as a bullshitter knows one, a mansplainer knows his own kind, even if in another time and on another continent. Sometimes, it’s only another mansplainer who can save us from ourselves. This is why I am smitten with Kōbō Abe’s unlikable protagonist in his allegorical 1962 masterpiece, The Woman in the Dunes — not just because I recognize him, but because recognizing him helped me be a better partner."
