The minute Kamala Harris started losing the debate with Mike Pence last night, you could almost see the thought go through her head: “I need to make this about mansplaining.”
Mansplaining, as we have been forced to learn, is the phenomenon in which a man talks over a woman to explain something to her. The term became popular after a 2008 essay by feminist author Rebecca Solnit, “Men Explain Things to Me,” in which Solnit describes the experience of having her own book explained to her by a man.
