Oh, the internet. It can be a dark, dark place where you lose all faith in humanity and especially where the struggles of being a woman are amplified. One woman who goes by Twitter username voldemortsbicep [2] handled a patronizing exchange with mansplainer grhughes82 [3] like a champ. In case you don't know what "mansplaining" is, well, just check out the exchange below.

In response to the woman's tweet:

my favorite game is to act like i can't understand something very simple when a man is explaining it to me to see how dumb he thinks i am

He tweeted back:

@voldemortsbicep [5] this, my dear, is called deception...

— greghughes (@grhughes82) April 12, 2016 [6]

And he didn't really understand he was being schooled:

@voldemortsbicep [7] it's a form of dishonesty that you are using for self gain or amusement. It's actually quite sophisticated stuff well done

— greghughes (@grhughes82) April 12, 2016 [8]

@grhughes82 [9] sorry, i don't get it?

Bravo, girl.
