Mansplaining

A blend of man and explain. When a person explains something to another about a subject on which the latter is more knowledgeable. Usually the word describes a conversation in which, due to sexist bias, a man automatically assumes he is more knowledgeable than the woman he is talking to.

Man: "Let me explain you something-"
Woman: "Dude. I have a PhD in this subject. I'm pretty sure I know more about it than you do."
Man: "Yeah,you have a PhD, but hear me out-"
Woman: "Do you realise you are mansplaining right now?"

Mansplaining

A word used by feminists to silence men and prevent them from learning that men actually have problems too and that their point of view isn't the only one

Feminist "women are paid 77 cents for every mans dollar"

A man "well actually every serious study showed that there more factors than just gender like how long they worked there and education"

Feminist "Stop mansplaining you patriarchal fuckface"

Mansplaining

When a man speaks to a woman exactly the same way he speaks to a man: somewhat mockingly, somewhat condescendingly, somewhat confrontationally. Ironically, feminists who champion equality among the sexes, expect men to change how they speak to accommodate their feminine sensibilities.

Woman: I don't feel conservatives care enough about social justice.
Man: That's ridiculous! That's just SJW propaganda. There can never be social justice if individual justice is ignored.

Woman: Stop mansplaining, you big jerk!

Mansplaining

Mansplaining as an accusation of someone being patronizing while the accuser is choosing to be sexist themselves.

Feminists tend to use the term as a backlash while also letting out pent up frustration at males in society.

Guy: Hey did you know that the pill is known to cause...
Lady: I don't need someone mansplaining to me about female things!
Guy: Letting me know that you already know that would be fine, but since you didn't hear me out, I'll assume that you just wanted to be sexist.

mansplainterrupt

Verb: When a man inserts himself into a full-blown conversation that had previously involved only women, in order to mansplain something related to the topic they're discussing. Often a reflexive reaction to discourse that would pass the Bechdel Test if it were a movie (because it doesn't involve the man who's overhearing it).

Dude, you just mansplainterrupted a League of Women Voters meeting to tell them about the history of suffrage.

Medsplain

When an absolute idiot thinks they understand something medical or health related and goes crazy explaining it over their social media. In reality they'll probably end up with mega-AIDS with their terrible ideas, so medsplainers are to be avoided and feared. Someone can be a medsplainer, can medsplain, or medsplaining.

My sister tried to medsplain to me that onions in my socks will cure cancer and now my stupid socks smell like onions.

Mansplaining

A man explaining something to a woman in a way that is patronizing because it assumes that the woman will be ignorant of the subject matter.

Woman speaking to another woman: “ I don’t want to drink too much tonight, I have to work in the morning.”

Man standing near them at the bar: “ Actually if you drink a glass of water and take an ibuprofen before you go to bed you won’t be hungover.”

Woman: “Thank you for mansplaining, but I’m less concerned with alcohol induced dehydration and more concerned with getting to bed at a decent hour.”
