Mansplaining

When a stupid person (in this case a female) asks a distrubingly poorly thought-out question and is then blames her embarrasment, using the “mansplaining” scapegoat, on the fact that a somebody (in this case a male) answered their question sufficiently.

Female: “If you pour all of your life savings into the stock of the company you work for and the company does good financially-“

Male:”You’re in the green then-”

Female:”STOP MANSPLAINING LET ME FINISH!!”

Cansplaining

When someone from Canada tells an America how they should feel about or react to Donald Trump. Particularly when they suggest impractical forms of resistance that they've never personally tried, tell the American to put themselves in physical danger, or wave away valid concerns. The concept is similar to the idea of mansplaining.

"Instead of saying you wish you could move to Canada because you're afraid that Trump's going to take your healthcare away and you're going to literally die, you should really be doing more to resist. You should run for office. And also go to more protests. And also participate in these 800 other forms of resistance I've never personally tried that might get you fired, arrested or killed. And just build a bridge for no reason. I've decided for some reason that you're not in any danger."

"Gee, thanks for Cansplaining that to me."

Femsplaining

When a female explains something to you, then explains it again as if you didn't understand the first time, and then explains it again to make sure you know she thinks you still don't understand because you wouldn't have needed it explained to begin with.

After fig told me that I needed to squeeze out the sponge after doing the dishes she began femsplaining to me why.

Man-on-mansplaining

the explanation of something by a man, to another man who they perceive as their inferior, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing.

There was a lot of man-on-mansplaining in the office today between Bert and Matt.

Mansplaining

When a woman says something utterly stupid and a man rudely fails to pretend like she is making sense.

While watching tennis, Mary remarked that she believed Serena Williams would beat Roger Federer if they ever played. Mike explained the biological differences between men and women to Mary. He also explained normal distributions to Mary, and how even though Serena Williams could beat 99.9% of the men in the world in tennis, that means there are thousands of men you have never heard of that could beat her. Mary did not appreciate the mansplaining and would have preferred to continue living in the false reality where women are just as good as men in sports.

Mansplaining

Mansplaining happens when a man speaks in a patronising and condescending tone to someone with the incorrect assumption that he is more knowledgeable about a subject than another because of the other person’s sex, class, social status, age and/or experience.

Originally coined by women to refer to misogynistic men, it has since been expanded to apply to all sexes and ages as everyone can be a target of mansplaining, it is not limited to a single demographic.

Some vague examples of mansplaining:

Explaining to a woman how a car runs in simple terms when she’s a mechanic.

A customer talking in a patronising manner to a new employee about how to do their job, despite them having trained for their job for 10 years.

Explaining to someone why music 50 years ago was better and that they wouldn’t know because they’re too young to understand.

Etc. etc.

Mansplaining

when a sticky little boy tried to explain the swim team tradition to one of the swim captains

“Colton saying the tradition is ‘boys only’ is a great example of how good he is at mansplaining”
