What is mansplaining?
It is when a man "explains something to a woman in a condescending way that assumes she has no knowledge about the topic".

Not only is it important to be aware that, unfortunately, interactions like this still take place every day, but her video could also help anyone else who struggles with standing up for themselves and speaking out.

Well done girl!
