A woman was once told how her biology works.

Another was informed by a man that women actually enjoy catcalling and street harassment.

And a Black woman was told that being a White man is harder.

These stories are among the more than 200 responses The Lily received from a call-out on Instagram (inspired by this viral TikTok video) asking followers to share things that have been mansplained to them — a term that refers to when a man explains something to a woman in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing.

Here’s more of what they told us.
