Mansplaining

mansplaining
I didn't have a good answer to the facts he presented , so I accused him of "mansplaining". I hypocritically said I wanted him to treat me equally with men, but I can't stand how men talk with each other so I told him he was "mansplaining". I claim I believe in equality and understanding, but the fact that men learned as kids that they have to over explain is just irritating so to get him to shut up i accused him of "mansplaining".

mansplaining

is the act of a man explaining something he may not really know to a woman who does, and the assumption behind it that knowledge is somehow inherent in the male condition, paralleling a void of knowledge waiting to be filled in the female condition.

Mansplaining

Mansplaining is basically intellectual dishonesty. Instead of listening and considering the arguments of opposing views, even if you then refute them, you simply brush off any opposing views as inherently wrong because a man said it.
Feminist: Men gets paid 1 dollar while a woman gets 73 cents, oh the patriarchy...
Rational Person: Well, the statistic that you stated didn't account for the kinds of jobs that men usually take, the amount of time they work in the shift, education and more. If you managed to remove all those factors, both men and women get basically the same amount.
Retarded Feminist: Shut the fuck up you sexist mansplaining pig!!!!

Dadsplaining

Any sentence spoken by a dad to persons younger than himself that begins with, "When I was your age," or, "I'll tell you why that is," or, "If you were smart, here's what you'd do..."
My dad says that when he was my age, phones had cords on them and there was a thing called "long distance." He's been Dadsplaining the old days at me all morning.

Dadsplaining

When a father or dad starts a sentence with, "I think you'll find"........then proceeds to impress his audience with his array of knowledge, facts and information to ensure that he thinks he is smarter than everyone in the room and that you are only as smart as dog shit.
I think you'll find that dadsplaining means I'm full of shit and I'm just trying to sound smart

Mansplain

A stupid term that "Feminists" use when they feel minorly threatened or when they feel the tiniest bit of aggression, or to hide the fact that they're a douchebag. women may use this term when you talk in a slightly condescending attitude, even jokingly, they explain this as "Thinking that you're better or smarter than them because they're women. no, this is not the case. i'm just trying to help you, whether you need it or not. and that's how i talk to everybody, whether you were a man, woman, the emperor of the Persian empire, i don't care.

Markus: MY disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

Mansplaining

(Male Perspective)

A verbal presuppositional term women resort to when men offer a prospective verbal solution to an issue that is simple and plausible, yet the receptive party acts insecure when faced with acknowledging its viability. Thus, rejecting the proposed hypothesis under an irrational means.

(Although true, by saying this definition as a “man” to a “woman”, you are indeed mansplaining)
“You really didn’t have to be mansplaining to her.”
