    Tbh, that’s the main reason I stopped talking about things that matter to me with women unless they are asking me for it and keep asking during the conversation.

    If I infodump on a guy, that guy thinks it’s because I’m maybe overly excited about my thing.

    If I infodump exactly the same way on a woman, it’s because I’m mansplaining.

    The only way I know around that is to not infodump on women. I pretty much trained myself to become an introvert around women.

      Yup, i do the same, avoids bullshit.

      I kinda overdo it though. Woman’s about to cross a road with her headphones on, running the pedestrian red light with intense traffic, not bothering to look either way? I’m not gonna mansplain, that’s offensive, she knows what she’s doing.
