To the gloriously mansplaining sibling commenters: Do you really think a question has been asked in the parent comment? If you do, why?

[Mountain_Skies]

For each person who is willing to speak up and say they don't understand something, there's usually dozens more who silently are wondering the same thing. Even if the parent commentor didn't want an explanation, they opened to floor for others to help out the silent folks who actually were curious as to the explanation.

So true. I have a rule of 100: for every person who takes the time and trouble to actively respond to something on the phone/by mail/online, there are 99 others who feel exactly the same way but can't be bothered.

Do you really think they're "mansplaining" to the user identified as bookofjoe?

[hardlianotion]

Pretty sure they're all women.

What’s the harm? Parent can choose to not read if they want.

This made me smile.
