Mansplain
Mansplaining is when someone with more power/privilege than you has explained something to you. This happens to me sometimes especially at work. Specifically when I came back to work from over the summer back to Cranston Marche. I came back from the summer and all of the workers had to explain how to do all of the procedures and thought that they had to retrain me. I worked for a whole year and you would think that they would remember working with me. I didn't forget how to do simple work over three months. It was almost like a slap in the face to my ability and intellect. Constantly reminding them that I've done this so many times before and brushing me off when I try to explain to them that I know what I'm doing.
