“Every woman knows what I’m talking about. It’s the presumption that makes it hard, at times, for any woman in any field; that keeps women from speaking up and from being heard when they dare; that crushes young women into silence by indicating, the way harassment on the street does, that this is not their world. It trains us in self-doubt and self-limitation just as it exercises men’s unsupported overconfidence.”
“女人们一定都深有同感。因为这样的假设,每个领域的女性都举步维艰;她们缄口不言,即使有人大胆发声也无人倾听;就算在路上遭到了骚扰,也只能忍气吞声,因为人们认为世界不属于她们。这样的假设让我们怀疑自己、限制自己,却让男人们毫无理由地过度自信。

Solnit’s essay struck a chord with so many readers that “mansplaining” popped up in the comment sections of many websites. It entered the mainstream, and it began to be used not only in the workplace and academia, but also in politics. In the US media for example, you will often read stories criticizing Republicans for “mansplaining” birth control to women. There are also headlines such as “GOP (Republican party) tries to woo women voters by mansplaining that they shouldn’t care about equal pay” and “Is Congress guilty of mansplaining to Janet Yellen?”
索尔尼的文章引起了众多读者的共鸣,而“男人说教”一词也在诸多网站的评论区乍现。该词随之进入主流文化,不仅被用在职场或学术界,还被用在政治领域。以美国媒体为例,批评共和党人像“男人一样说教”女性节育的文章比比皆是。还有这样的标题:“大老党(共和党)为赢得女性选民支持,劝其不在乎男女同酬”,或者“国会是否应对‘男人式说教’ 珍妮特•耶伦(美联储百年历史上首位女主席)而感到愧疚?”
