A somewhat amusing NFWS example of how easily you can get yourself humiliated and taken down on the internet.

A guy attempts to fact check a female photographer on the difference between vulvas and vaginas...

I sort of feel for him...I've had it happen, although not on that. Usually on something more innocuous like what really happened in a television episode or book.

My headspace app states before posting a response to anything on the internet or responding to an email, to pause and take a couple of deep breaths. [Or research first.]

JFC, what a twerp.

Yep, he digs in and doesn't stop -- even when all the evidence stacks against him. Honestly, I think they'd have been better off ignoring him than engaging. Because the more they engaged the more entrenched and obnoxious he got trying to defend his position.

He's a very annoying man - I don't want to meet him.

On the one hand I have some sympathy for what he's saying because the number of times I've seen women do this same thing, I always have to wonder if they have any idea what their body parts are.

On the other, this person nailed it:

"Even though it’s only February, I think it would be pretty safe to declare Paul the Mansplainer of the Year 2019. This is hard to top."

Yeah, I had more or less the same reaction. He really should have thought better of it...the more he tried to dig himself out of it, the worse the "mansplaning" got. Then top it all off, people began to notice all the typos in his twitter account. This made me laugh " Oh he spelled "Certificate in Editing" wrong...he spelled it Ceticate when it is Certificate. LOL!
