yeah she may be a nasa astronaut and everything, but probably still doesn’t know as much as i do about boiling water. (i have cooked lots of pasta)

Didn't notice it was a woman at first, but isn't it an appeal to authority? The fact that someone is an astronaut doesn't mean they can't also be a dumb fuck. Just look at Russians - Oleg Artemyev, Tereshkova, Rogozin. I'm not familiar with NASA astronauts but surely some of them were also complete idiots as well?

The guy is clearly "mansplaining" though.

Is there a gender neutral version of mansplaining?

This post made me realize mansplaining can happen to anyone.

I like to imagine replies are more often for future readers than for the OP.
