    I never help a female coworker who needs assistance or guidance cause I’ll just be accused of mansplaining. So I let them drown and get called an asshole who doesn’t help so you lose either way.

      If only there was a way of helping without being condescending or immediately assuming oneself to be more knowledgeable or capable on a topic with nothing to base it on other than physical appearance.

      Have you actually been accused, or are you afraid of being accused? Because in reality, most people don’t give two shits about the idea of “mansplaining”.
