Get the Superior Mormon Mansplaining mug.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."

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.”

Get the Mansplaining mug.Mansplaining (verb) - The heroic act of a man patiently explaining, with logic, something not that complex to a woman who insists she already knows-but clearly doesn't. Often met with eye rolls, contridictions, and an unshakable confidence in her incorrect opinion.
Man did you see nphoenixcrimefighter trying to explain what Mansplaining is to Stacy the other night? It's not that hard, but she was being intentionally obtuse. That man has the patience of a saint.
