Mansplaining

The mansplaining flow chart.
Above is the flow chart that explains mansplaining that has, I've read, gone viral. What it doesn't include is something that applies to me, which is that I'm a slow learner who, even so, grasps things well and is good at explaining them to others but does so the way I wish things would be explained to me. Also, the majority of my time explaining things to others was when I was teaching in Asia (China, Japan) and explaining the English language. I was never guilty of "teacher talk" which, there, meant using ungrammatical sentences to focus on key words ("He open door"), but I did often slow things down a little and use simple words in favor of more advanced ones.
