Let's get our egos out of the way of sharing accurate information: I'll stop mansplaining if you stop missunderstanding.

Misslunderstand

Pronunciation: (mis-lun-der-stand)

1. To misunderstand a concept to such an unbelievably inept degree that it can only be explained by an unfathomable level of stupidity or an unprecedented level of wilful ignorance.

2. To misunderstand a concept so completely, or pretend to in such an egregious manner, that it is pitiful and/or hilarious for anyone listening to you talk about it, (except those who have the same misslunderstanding).

Named after Chuck Missler for his attempt to disprove the Theory of Evolution with a jar of peanut butter.

Misslunderstanding 

Misslunderstand, misslunderstanding, misslunderstandard.

Misslunderstandard 

A level of misslunderstanding that one must attain before being able to accept a particular irrational belief, set of beliefs, and/or become part of a group for which the aforementioned is a requirement.

See misslunderstand.
You must reach a higher misslunderstandard to be a Scientologist than you do for most other religions.

Missunderstand 

A corollary to mansplain, to missunderstand is to ignore information based on the condescending tone of the explainer. While a missunderstanding sometimes results in a missed opportunity for a greater understanding, it is also a partially justified skepticism, since mansplainers are frequently overconfident in their beliefs. Just as mansplaining is now more broadly understood to not exclusively apply to men “splaining” to women, men can also missunderstand.
If you would stop mansplaining for a minute and talk to me like an intelligent adult, I would not be be in a better position to not missunderstand your valid points (assuming there are any).

Missunderstandings

A missunderstanding happens when a girl or unmarried woman (a miss) understands what a male is saying as mansplaining when they are simply being a person freely speaking.
Hey, you are missunderstanding what I'm saying.
I'm only voicing my opinion, take it or leave it, no need to reduce me to such absurdity.

Missunderstandings done by calling me a mansplainer is only polarizing.

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
