[Image description: image of text which reads "I like when men explain basic things to me because in my mind it's not mansplaining, it's more like when a toddler is really excited to tell you about dinosaurs and you're like that's right cutie! You're so smart!! Only one of us is being condescending and it's me", to which Shawn replies "if you have to announce when you're condescending, you're doing it wrong."

OP replies "that's a great observation, Shawn! Great job!" with a heart emoji]

So Ellie is the condescending one here, not the person supposedly "mansplaining".

Or at least that's what she seems to be saying.

Yeah, that's the joke. It's only mansplaining when it's condescending, but she's turning it on its head by just not taking those men serious at all.
