Wisconsin GOP leadership offers child care proposal based on mansplaining

 
HeadlineWKOW, 9/3/2023
The package of bills would loosen a number of restrictions in state statutes, including allowing child care staff to care for more children at once and allowing workers as young as 16 to watch children without additional supervision. 
The providers who have signed onto the petition, led by Corrine Hendrickson and Brooke Skidmore of New Glarus, said in a letter accompanying the petition sent to lawmakers that the bills "will actually decrease the childcare workforce, decrease quality, and price-out parents from having access to childcare."  [emphasis added] 
"None of the proposals are based on actual research or data," the letter said. "The proposed policy changes are in complete opposition to best practices and unequivocal research in early childhood education and development."

According to Merriam-Webster, the first known use of mansplain, as in "to explain something to a woman in a condescending way that assumes she has no knowledge about the topic", occurred in 2008.
