Mansplaining

A a dudebro/fuckboy wants to explain something they definitely know Everything™ about, often adding false intellectual materials to pass off as superior.
Example of Mansplaining: " '5 girls back to back doesn’t make me a lesbian'

Kinda makes it likely that you are more into girls than guys tho’.

Guys are much more available as partners for women unless they are quite unattractive.

But let’s imagine it was exactly equal that you would select a girl or a guy - that their sex genuinely was irrelevant, and that there was no difference in availability.

I’m rusty at maths, but from memory, the chance it’s coincidence is

(1/(2^5)) *100%

= (1/32) *100%

= 0.03125 *100%

=3.125%

Feel free to correct my maths - it’s been about 35 years now since i did probability.

But if i was a betting man - i’m going to say my money is going to be on a woman for your next partner.

Maybe you are a lesbian, and maybe dudes need to know that so they don’t get hurt? Just a thought."

Mansplaining

Mansplaining (MAN-splayn)

A condescendingly derisive term explain a man’s attempt to give an opinion perceived to a woman (usually an uberfeminist) that that retort is condescending and derisive because of gender.
In a conversation I had with my brother-in-law, his ideas about my supposed inability to get a boyfriend was sheer Mansplaining. He thinks because he’s a man, he knows what’s best for me, despite the comment he made about men are not ingredients on my list.”

mansplain

When a man attempts to explain, make a suggestion, give advice, or come to a conclusion on a topic highly pertaining to something females are much more well-versed in. Such topics include, but are not limited to: female anatomy, women’s clothing and shoes, beauty products, etc.

Some use the term “mansplaining” in every context in which a male tries to explain something he is not an expert in. As the author of this definition, I believe the word should be more exclusive to when males try to explain something relating to females.
Him: No, girls pee out of their vagina!
Her: Are you trying to mansplain my own anatomy to me! You bigot! Girls pee out of their urethra, which is another hole separate from the vagina!

Him: Girls only wear high heels because they’re insecure about their height and wish they were taller.

Her: Don’t try to mansplain why I chose to dress this way! Some women wear heels because they feel like a BOSS BITCH in them! Slay queen
