A guy tried to mansplain this woman’s own height to her – 7 favourite takedowns
This week’s mansplainer of the week award goes to the guy who tried to mansplain this woman’s own height to her.
If that sounds a slightly unusual scenario, then you’d be right. The exchange was shared by a woman called Amy Brown on Twitter.
ive had a lot of good things happen to me on this website but a man digging up my wedding picture to prove i’m not seven and a half feet tall is by far the best pic.twitter.com/SlD6TIg7Px

It started when a guy said on Twitter how he didn’t like shaking hands with women – the clues were there, everyone – and, well, it went on like this.
Just look at the time and effort he spent there. And absolutely in no way weird that he found an old photo from her wedding to explain that she wasn’t in fact seven and a half feet tall.
Here were our favourite replies.
I have done some petty things to prove some stupid points.

But what’s his frame of reference? Maybe your husband is 7.5 ft tall?

That’s a lot of work over not wanting to shake a woman’s hand. Why doesn’t he take the easy route and admit he’s sexist?

Has he never heard of forced perspective? I'm sure he's watched the making of documentary on his Lord of the Rings DVDs, so he must have.
