paulsplaining

The act of overriding another's experience and knowledge brought on by your ability to conjure the power of 1,000 vaginas and Mother Teresa herself.

I was trying to describe how bad my period felt but then dumbfuck Jerry paulsplained, saying I shouldn't feel any pain because periods are just papercuts that take a while to clot.

I wanted to get the HPV vaccine, but my dickhole dad paulsplained that it wasn't necessary and I'd get autism if I got it anyhow.

I was talking to my friend at work, Sarah, about how prevalent rape is and our colleague, Terry the Terrible, came over and did some paulsplaining. He said we should just dress more appropriately or start carrying a gun if we didn't want to be raped.

painsplaining

This is a type of ablesplaining where doctors and other healthcare workers patronize, infantilize and disregard lived experience by minimizing self-reports of pain, often justifying it through medical hearsay, misogyny, transphobia, fatphobia, and racism even though they've never experienced any similar pain themselves, or they believe everyone's pain is the same as their own.

Doctor: "It's normal to experience some discomfort…" Patient: "Quit painsplaining; that was not just discomfort. That was a 9 out of 10 — almost the worst pain I've ever felt!"
