I was shocked by the responses to the airplane mansplaner post — and felt depressed by all the excuses people were making for him and all the helpful tips about ways to make him understand Steph as if it was necessary for her to let him know that she was a knitting expert as a way to make him stop. But the jumping to the conclusion that the guy was on the spectrum and therefore SHE needed to somehow change her already gracious and elegant handling of the situation left me feeling too bummed to comment. And then someone felt the need to email her??? Shocked again at people’s sense of self-importance. She doesn’t need to be ‘schooled’ by any of us. We read her for her wit and wisdom and beautiful honesty. Please don’t ruin it by doing anything to make her feel like she can’t post whatever her experience happens to be.
