    Do you suppose that, if asked, he would say that she had "dominated" the conversation because she refused to be interrupted by him on several occasions?

    reminds me of the time one of my lady friends needed the belt tensioner on her car replaced. it kept locking down and peeling the belt off. whole assembly was gonna crack at some point i've seen it happen and leave a guy (me) on the side of the road in DFW once upon a time. pretty easy fix too you just have to go down to o'reilly's and pick up a new one for like $25 prob go ahead and get a new belt to be safe if the old one hasn't snapped yet. tried telling her how i could do it for her cause i already had a socket set and bar and everything. my pops is a mechanic so we pretty much grew up under the hood of a car and crawling around on concrete underneath.

    it was then that she started screaming "reeeeeeee" and turned into a wing-ed serpent.

    I am utterly uncertain how to read your post, lol. You're either using hyperbole to say that she freaked out, or joking. I'm, like, 98% sure you're joking, but this is the Internet and I just don't know. :D

    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."

    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

    mansplaining is already happening in this thread lol

    as predicted

    Where does a mansplainer get his water?

    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 ;)

    I already know it's semen, and it's still feminazi misandry.

    That being said, do you want a mug full of female tears?
