Mansplaining

Are you tired of guys “mansplaining” to you what it means to be a proper woman? Kae and Brittny are re-purposing the term to do the opposite: explain what it means to be a proper man. Mansplaining is a gender-aware explication of hyper-masculinity in popular films. Episodes run between 30 to 45 minutes, focusing on one film.
