Jansplaining

A german's person strong inclination to share their opinions and insights, often believing that they have a deeper understanding of a subject matter than others. Their persistent need to explain and assert their knowledge can sometimes come across as arrogant or overbearing. However, it's important to note that their intentions may stem from a genuine desire to share information and contribute to conversations.
"Whenever Maria talks about her Mexican heritage, Hans is continuously jansplaining as if he knows more about her culture than she does. In an attempt to further assert his expertise. Later, he even goes as far as sending Maria an article on Mexican traditions and customs, as if she needs to be educated by him."

foxsplaining

To explain and rationalize a false narrative using lies and hatred; typically fueled by racism, sexism, homophobia, and/or transphobia. To draw conclusions so delusional and based so far from reality that only a Fox News corespondent or other white Christian nationalist would come up with them.
Desi Lydic mocked Fox News by foxsplaining how Democrats want to make AP Butt Stuff a requirement for elementary schools.

mansplaining

A thought-terminating cliche of sexist hate-speech with the sole purpose of claiming everything that is said is wrong solely due to it being said by a man.
Its use is usually “justified” by claiming that it is only or “originally” intended to only criticize a condescending behavior of chauvinist bullies towards their victims. Even though in all of its short history, it was was never used that way. (See: Gaslighting.)

So it is really just a specific case of the general strategy of modern bullying, where narcissists with a severe inferiority complex realized they could bully others most effectively, by claiming they are the ones being bullied. As most people sadly completely fall for this, hook, line, sinker, fishing rod, fisher and the entire boat and anchor… and can be used to amplify the bullying (aka cancel culture).

This again, is just a specific case of the “eye for an eye” revenge fallacy of thinking one’s evil is not evil “because” somebody else did evil first, even and especially if the other one’s evil is made up with prejudice in the first place. A fallacy that is, incredibly sadly and incredibly primitively, still the base of most legal systems.

Don’t fall for it. There’s just some that want to make us hate each other, to exploit it for power. But people aren’t their stereotypes. People are just people. Be it sexes, ages, nations, peoples, or whatever. If you don’t listen to those who screech, they are literally powerless.
Sexist 1 (m): If you give me seven lines, written by the finest woman, I will find something to burn her as a witch.
Sexist 2 (f): If you give me seven lines, written by the finest man, I will find some mansplaining to destroy his life!
Sexist 1 (m): Oh, *you* can’t do that! Only I am rigtheous!
Sexist 2 (f): Not anymore, grandpa!
Sexist 3 (m): If you give me seven lines, written by the hand of the finest woman, I will find something to call her a feminazi!
Sexist 2 (f): Hey, *you* can’t do that! Only I am righteous!
Sexist 3 (m): Not anymore, grandma!
Sexist 4 (f): …

And so on, for all eternity, because apparently everybody’s too stupid and permanently mentally immature to learn a 5500 year old lesson and end the feud.
