The 9 Mansplainations Every Girl Is Tired Of Hearing

Girls can be just as good at video games so don't try to undermine me.

I didn’t know “mansplaining” was a thing until a classmate on my spring break trip told me about it. “Mansplaining” means when a guy explains something (inaccurately) to a woman. So, here’s some "mansplainations" that I’m sure every girl has heard and why it makes our eyes roll.

Disclaimer: I realize that girls say just as many dumb things as guys, which is why I could easily write an article about things girls say that EVERYONE hates. In fact, maybe I will.

1. "Catcalling is a compliment!"

Yeah, no. It's more like a threat and tends to make me feel unsafe. Especially if I'm walking back from work at 9 o' clock at night.

2. "I realize I have a problem with jealousy, but I'd appreciate it if it didn't bother you"

This is annoying, especially if you then go on and tell an anecdote about a time you were in the store and saw a woman hug her guy friend and her boyfriend was fuming in anger. Don’t push your insecurity onto someone else.

3. "I feel like I have the right to say this — I don't want you to wear makeup if we're just hanging out"

If I don’t wear makeup, you’ll just say I look tired. Plus, I wear makeup for me!

4. "You look so tired! Are you OK?"

This will just put us in a bad mood. Don’t do it. We'll say we're tired if we are.

5. "Wait, so we're breaking up just because you're not feeling it anymore?"

This is used as a guilt trip a lot. But no one should be doing anything they’re not “feeling."

6. "I don't need help from you! I'm just a little buzzed! I can still drive! Or walk without help..."

Then why are you spinning around in circles, singing “Singing in the Rain?" I’m laughing, but you’re more than a little buzzed.

7. "You're obviously not going to be as good at this video game as me. I'll teach you! Or take it easy on you!"

Don’t assume I’m going to lose because I’m a girl.

8. "You must be gay because you haven't dated anyone since me"

That doesn't have anything to do with my lack of dating, but nice try. Sometimes I think I could meet even the most perfect person and I wouldn't date them because, for the most part, I'm more comfortable alone than with people.

9. "I could resist...but I didn't want to ;)"

I don't even know what to say to that. It's like your way of asserting your man card while trying to be charming in a way that isn't actually charming.

I hope this resonates with the girls of the world who are sick of mansplaining. You're not alone.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
