Mansplainer

A man whom by virtue of the authority and privilege vested in him by society feels entitled to preach or explain how the world works. Bonus, if he is speaking to women, whom he perceives to be naive and ignorant, about problems and concerns with which women have real life every day experience, and the man has NO fucking clue what he is talking about. This is usually done in a patronizing insensitive manner.

A mansplainer lectures on gynecology, menstruation or gender oppression to women.

Ex. I think women should...
The problem with women today is...

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!!”

Maysplaining

Answering a question without saying anything meaningful or informative in your response. Usually includes an ad hominem attack directed towards a political opponent or the questioner rather than a direct answer.

Named after British prime minster Theresa May's inability to respond to questions and criticisms.

A play-on-words of the term "mansplaining".

"Did you watch prime minister's questions yesterday? Theresa May was maysplaining every question the opposition directed at her."

Interviewer: "How do you respond to the criticism that you inviting Saudi Arabian royalty to visit is endorsing state-sponsored terrorism and human rights abuses, including women's rights?"

Politician (maysplaining): "I think the opposition have bigger things to worry about, considering their leader sold secrets to a Russian spy during the Cold War! Saudi Arabia are our friends, and we are happy to invite them to our country."

Interviewer: "You didn't answer my question..."

Politician: "We have a very special relationship with the Saudis, but I think their human rights abuses are a very mean thing for them to do..."

Mansplain Bukkake

When a group of men try to tell a woman how to do something she already knows how to do.

That meeting with the clients was a total mansplain bukkake.
