A mansplaining chart has gone viral on Twitter for all the right reasons

We all hate being mansplained to. It's the most eye roll-inducing, frustrating, intolerable thing to happen - and it happens to us all on a daily basis.

Since apparently this is hard to figure out, I made one of them a chart,” she explained on Twitter It has now received more than 123,000 likes and 51,000 retweets. Here it is:
