Get the foxsplaining mug.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.
