A guy tried to mansplain this woman’s height to her and wins mansplainer of the week

Poke Staff. Updated March 22nd, 2021

Into the top tier of all-time great (by which we mean awful) mansplainers comes this guy who took it upon himself to mansplain a woman’s own height to her.

It began when a bloke suggested that people shaking hands was now redundant because it was all about showing your sword hand was empty.

And it really did escalate from there, with this guy going all the way to digging up the woman’s wedding picture to prove that, er, she wasn’t seven and a half feet tall.

Here’s what Amy Brown, who shared the exchange, had to say about it.

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

All that math and he’s still wrong

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