Good lord.

The mansplainers of the internet have well and truly outdone themselves this year. And considering it’s only April it’s…pretty terrifying.

No, really, is there some sort of competition we don’t know about?

Joining Paul, the man who tried to explain the difference between a vulva and a vagina to a gynaecologist, and the guy who helpfully advised women everywhere how they can save money on tampons (thank you!) is a man on Twitter who just mansplained a woman’sheight.

…With reference to her wedding photos and in response to a comment that was clearly a joke.

Oh mate.

You really need to…not.

The whole exchange came about when he made the very problematic claim that “shaking hands with a woman is like shaking hand with a child” because a handshake was designed as “a greeting between men to show their sword hand was empty”. (Look, we knew it wasn’t going to end well after that opening.)

Responding to his vomit-inducing comment, Twitter user Amy quipped, “Cool I’ll just slap you in the face then,” before joking that she was seven and a half feet tall.

As the conversation continued, the original poster then attempted to prove that the woman in question wasn’t in fact seven and a half feet tall – becauseobviously– by creepily digging up her wedding photos and drawing some trigonometry over the top of it.

Yes, really. It happened.

Read it and weep:

Because people love nothing more than to ruthlessly lay into a mansplainer on the internet (which we’re completely OK with) Twitter didn’t hold back.

Ahh, we love a mathematically-charged troll:

I have done some petty things to prove some stupid points. But this dude did trigonometry???

how does he know that’s a standard poster on the wall?? seems like a pretty big assumption to make

The officiant is clearly standing on a box! The whole room is calibrated to make the very tall couple feel comfortable on their most special day.

Wait till he finds out that poster is an 8 x 10 photo

Exactly. And if you guys were 7ft+ you’d prob hang posters higher than standard height anyway, so they’d be eye level. His logic is deeply flawed

Only people 7ft plus would need a house big enough to have opposite sides! Proof right there imo
