It’s really more like (in my case) a male theater person explaining to me (a theater female) about theater - basically assuming I know nothing. It is annoying BUT: that’s all it is. And any smart woman can come back with a snappy putdown instead of sniffling into her cornflakes and wearing a stupid pink hat.
I agree.
We have females who do the same thing. I have a cousin, knows everything, tells you at any excuse, interminably. Its not a man/woman thing. It’s a people thing.
If you describe it as such there is a rush of recognition because most women have had that done to them by a man but flip it and it’s still a rush of recognition, woman to woman, woman to man, man to man. We all have met life’s backseat drivers and pseudo experts.
