Mansplaining: "In the colder months it is best to keep the heat between 68 and 70 so the already overworked HVAC doesn't crap out anymore than it already does. In warmer months keep the cool air between 71 and 74 for similar reasons.
It's supposed to warm up to the 70s some this week but it will likely be best we just keep the heat at 68-70 all week so the cycling is at a minimum.
This serves two purposes: Keeping us all (relatively) comfortable and giving the HVAC less work so it runs a little smoother and lowers our electricity bill."

Mansplain--to put women down in response to criticism.
Mansplain--to put women down in response to criticism.
Even though Mansplain only points out a specific aspect of what some men do but not in every context, explainerOrMansplainer and Wicker33 were so overcome by the inability to accept criticism and had to condescendingly mansplain how women must be either dumb; (ironically) unable to take criticism (derp!); or should be dismissed as radical.

Mansplaining is the act of a man explaining something he may not really know to a woman who does, and the assumption behind it that knowledge is somehow inherent in the male condition, paralleling a void of knowledge waiting to be filled in the female condition.
He didn't realize it, but he was mansplaining how a woman's reproductive system works to a gynecologist (who just happened to be female).
