BLOOMINGTON, IN — Indiana University has just announced plans to begin offering the art of overly simplifying and talking down to other people as a second language for all those who aren’t quite sure what a man means when he is explaining something.

“When I first came to IU from Yale, which is where I received my degree, Yale being a pretty well known school,” said mansplaning expert Professor Manfred Jackman. “I noticed that a lot of the women here tended to have trouble communicating with all of the men in their ivory towers. I hope that this course, mansplaining, which I am teaching, at IU, which is short for Indiana University, will help men and women develop a more rounded understanding of each other.”

Dr. Jackman compares mansplaining to a premade pie crust. According to Jackman, instead of struggling through the tedium of working your way through all the confusing steps of cooking a pie, a wife on the go can simply buy a crust and fill it with the testosterone rich foods that her man so craves.

“I have a lot of experience interacting with women,” said Dr. Jackman. “Having worked as an administrator at a start of tech firm, I’ve often encouraged my female employees to smile more and–just in general–feel more comfortable with their bodies.”

According to university officials, the class will count as a world culture’s credit, which they asked us to clarify as being a pre-requisite for most majors, meaning that you will have to take it in order to graduate.
