He doesn't really man-splain but uses nautical terminology that most 
readers would gloss over.  There is a joke in sailing circles about a 
newbie who was instructed to let out the sheet but not make it fast who 
went into slow motion. 

I forget which mystery author laid a little trap for his readers when he 
described the character releasing the safety on a revolver. When the 
complaints rolled in he pointed out he had written in one of the very few 
revolvers to have had safeties.

According to 23AndMe my ancestry is over 96% German which corresponds to 
what I know about my ancestors, which isn't much. The oddity is the Y 
chromosome, I M253.  Currently the highest concentration is over 50% of 
the males in  Västra Götaland, Sweden, and it spreads out from there. 

The haplogroup is associated with the early hunter-gatherers, not the 
farmers that moved in from the mid-east causing the neighborhood to go to 
hell.
