Mansplaining

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!

Femsplaining

The explanation of something by a feminist, typically to a non-feminist, in a manner regarded as condescending. Further, femsplaining refers to saying words that demonize non-feminists as morally inferior, due to non-feminists not assimilating into politically correct social constructs.
The feminist's argument was classic femsplaining.

Calling someone a bigot is typical femsplaining aimed at reducing the self-determination of free-thinkers.

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).

Factsplain

fact·splain | \ ˈfact-ˌsplān
factsplained; factsplaining

Definition of factsplain
transitive + intransitive

: the uninvited and condescending effort of a third party (usually, though not always, on social media platforms) to offer extraneous information (“context”) or further explanation on a given subject/topic, while invariably posing itself as objectively factual, despite its content and purpose invariably being the promotion or defense of a partisan (progressive, leftist) idea, premise, value, cause, figure, etc.
It is often characterized by cloaking subjective opinions and partisan perspectives amidst the excessive use of officious-sounding terms and declarations such as “Ruling” “Context” “Evidence” “Credible” “Finding” “Determination” “Conclusion” “Result”, etc. or may strive to confirm or deny information on the basis of mere nuance, minor technicalities, irrelevancies, or other specious rationale.
In both form and content, factsplaining attempts to discredit the original information, although rarely if ever actually doing so, and its presence therefore may best be understood as a strong indicator of the original content’s accuracy or veracity.

Prominent factsplainers: Factcheck, Politifact, Snopes, Reuters, AP
See also: bias, propaganda, spin, gaslighting, censorship, partisanship
