I get the joke and I know this is gonna be a buzzkill but - is it expected that from now until the end of the universe there'll be no ad with a man explaining something to a woman/women because of some sexist assholes in the past?
Lol. The past? You're being obtuse on purpose
As others have pointed out, there's way more to the photo than just a man explaining something to a group of women.
I had the same thought and hesitated before posting this, but the facial expressions on the women really made the image and I couldn't help myself. Especially the woman on the right with blue sleeves.
They do look like they are all quite bored or at least barely interested and like he's explaining something they know well, and therefore don't need an explanation of.
This really looks like a stock photo for mansplaining that the university just copied.
It helps when all the women in the ad don't look like they're getting a mansplanation and wishes he would shut the fuck up.
