Mansplain

The selfless act of a man taking a woman’s scattered “thoughts” and “problems” — you know, the ones flying around like drunk squirrels on Red Bull — and calmly organizing them into actual coherent sentences, priorities, and action steps.

Girl: “I’m stressed because my boss is mean, my boyfriend never listens, my apartment is a mess, and I think my hair hates me.”
Guy: mansplains “Okay, boss thing is fixable with this email script, boyfriend issue is actually you never saying what you want, apartment takes 45 minutes on Saturday, and your hair is literally just dry — buy conditioner.”
Girl (five minutes later): “Omg you’re so right, everything makes sense now.”

Mansplain/Womansplain

To ask someone of the opposite sex to explain something to you thoroughly and as though you understand nothing relating to the subject. Typically used when someone believes their lack of understanding to be caused by a gender barrier.

Man: *Sees period cup*

Man: Can you mansplain/womansplain what this is to me?
Woman: It's a rubber cup people put up their vag in place of a tampon or pad during their period. It collects the blood, then you can dispose of the blood and clean the cup to reuse it.
