mansplaining

Mansplaining is an add-on service provided by men when trying to communicate with women. This add-on is rarely offered when communicating with other men, as it is assumed that men prefer to receive information with complete technical accuracy. The only add-on service sometimes offered to other men is background elaboration, which augments the technical content with how it all came to be that way. Men generally don't offer background elaboration service to women, as it often results in things being thrown at them. To date, mansplaining has no standards specification and remains completely ad-hoc, varying widely among service providers. That is due, in large part, to the inherent difficulty interpreting the feedback from the recipient, as it is invariably contradictory to the quality of service.

Mansplaining planner

A board with a calendar used to plan methodically when to do mansplaining, choosing the topic and the victim
Mildred: I would swear that man owns a mansplaining planner because he always mansplains to me from Monday to Friday at the same hour about what feminism is and what it isn't. I always receive his condescending tutelage on this topic at 17:19 sharp.
Gertrude: Same topic at the same hour?
Mildred: Indeed, Gertrude, indeed.
Gertrude: And what about Saturday and Sunday?
Mildred: A mercy, I assume. He must think I need to have a rest!
