Get the Mansplaining mug.A hate speech slur often used by a woman who is losing an argument in an attempt to invalidate a man's position by bashing his gender. The term was invented by feminists who realized they had no ability to use logic, facts, and reason, and therefore needed a buzzword to shame men into silence. The feminists claim the word means that a man is explaining something in a condescending way, but that's only a false cover. The English language already has terms for that such as "to patronize." "Mansplain" is generally used to belittle a man based on his sex when a feminist is incapable of countering his argument and her feelings are hurt.
