## Issues
Mansplaining places men (usually without authority) in a position of default authority, and places women and gender minoritised people with authority in a position of default subordination, which reinforces the power differential in men's favour.
Mansplaining occupies real time in meetings, leading to men gaining more air time and exposure, despite the stereotype that women speak more.[1](https://slate.com/human-interest/2013/02/do-women-talk-more-the-answer-is-no-but-the-belief-persists-despite-the-evidence.html)[2](https://slate.com/human-interest/2013/02/do-women-talk-more-the-answer-is-no-but-the-belief-persists-despite-the-evidence.html)

Mansplaining contributes to the invalidation and disbelief of any women and gender-minoritised individuals and their credentials. The disbelief and intrinsic questioning of women and gender-minoritised individual especially reinforces systemic bias and injustice against them.
