Jimmy Kimmel pretending to mansplain to Hillary Clinton is cringe-worthy


Oh, Jimmy Kimmel is good.

When Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton paid a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday, the host pretended to be a dreaded mansplainer. He even schooled Clinton on the definition of the offense after she gave a perfectly acceptable one. "Actually, it's when a man explains something to a woman in a condescending way, but you were close," he said. *Eye-rolls abound.*

Kimmel suggested that Clinton get behind a podium and give a speech while he provided feedback. "Just talk, and I'll correct you whenever I feel the need," Kimmel said.

The late night host jokingly criticized her for talking too loud, then not loudly enough. He suggested that she should smile more, and then said it seemed forced.

"Ask yourself, 'Do I want to be president or do I want to be a Lakers Girl?'"

For her part, Clinton seemed bemused. Nothing she hasn't experienced before, we assume.
