    I want to tell people this sometimes, but I figure they’ll just think I’m mansplaining mansplaining.

      Not really. When a dude pulls the “sorry, I’m neurodivergent and can talk way too much about this” or “I’m sorry I struggle with getting my thoughts clear to other people so I can overexplain” I’m a lot more sympathetic. I really think it’s best to think of mansplaining as gendered preemptive assumption of lack of knowledge

      The key is to never take a clear pause; semicolons only; make them worried if you’re alright with a torrent of Skink facts.
