I ganked this from mmouse15. A bunch of questions about me, because I like talking about myself. :)

I have two questions. What's "mansplaining", and what happened to your horse?

[anon_decepticon]

I think it refers to when men patronizingly and/or condescendingly explain traditionally male-gendered stuff like cars or computers to women, operating on the assumption that our wee girly brains couldn't possibly grasp such complicated stuff without their august tutelage. Or something like that. ;)

[kookaburra1701]

That's part of it, but it mostly refers to a man pontificating to women while being stunningly blind to his own privilege.

"Why, how can you say our workplace is sexist? I've never seen any sexism here!"

[kookaburra1701]

Mansplaining is something like what anon_decepticon said, it's also when men refuse to believe a woman when she's trying to share what experiencing life is as a woman, and they explain that there couldn't possibly be any sexism in the workplace because they haven't experienced any.

It's also what I like to say when men come blustering on to various feminism message boards/ blogs I frequent, assuming that the women present actually care about what they have to say. "Thank you so much for mansplaining that to us!"

Oh, and I forgot about my horse: I sold her when I went off to college.

*snerk* I can't imagine where you got the idea that I like Ironhide, either. *hides icon*

Interesting answers you've got; I'm glad you did this meme! It was fun to read.
