Mansplaining

man·splain
manˈsplān/

(of a man) explain (something) to someone, typically a woman, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing.

ETA: "Mansplaining" is one of my favorite types of words: a portmanteau, which is a combining of two words to create a new word

john, female humans are complicated because they have "emotions" which cause "feelings". these things are useful to female humans in ways that are too difficult to explain to you without creating some kind analogy involving football and fishing. why don't you just go do your beer-drinking fantasy sports thing and we'll talk about it some other time

I'm going to assume you're directing that sharp comeback at John specifically rather than the whole male gender. But I am quite disappointed you didn't do some sort of football related analogy.

Mansplaining is just another word created by feminazis that cry about equality then preach inequality. Feminazis that have mugs with sayings like "male tears" on the side, but would completely lose it and go on a soapbox rant if a man had a mug that said "female tears"

That mug is actually really funny when you go on urban dictionary and look up what 'male tears' means

Wow, all humans are complicated, have emotions and feelings. Males just seem to have an easier time controlling them. Sounds like someone has a lot of hatred for men in general. I recommend counseling.

So I guess that's why after a break-up we will cry with some ice cream and move on while males go and stalk/murder their ex? Because you have an easier time controlling your emotions?

i was mansplaining mansplaining

@_John_ is cool

is it not womansplaining? is that a thing?

I'm still not clear on when explaining becomes mansplaining. Does it have to be sexist, or can it just be insensitive in a general way? Can I mansplain to another man, or only to a woman? As far as I can tell, mansplaining just means thinking you're right.

If you don't want me to mans plain then don't ask

I'm not your Google

This is simply a femiNAZI term. They use any and every tactic to try and put down men. Men do explain this as history has shown men create things. Trains, planes, cars, rockets, telescopes, tires, telephones, radios, television, electricity, atomic energy, computers, and fax machines. All miracles made possible by the minds and spirits of men with names like Ampere, Bell, Caselli, Edison, Ohm, Faraday, Einstein, Cohen, Teller, Shockley, Hertz, Marconi, Morse, Popov. Ford, Volta, Michelin, Dunlop, Watt, Diesel, Galileo, and other "dead white males."

Jerks are condescending, gender notwithstanding. Plenty of women think they know it all as well.

You have to watch out for these as well https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/brocialist oh and we all hate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manspreading
