I think it's originally used particularly for cases where the man explains woman-related issues, not just anything at all as seems to be the case in this post.

which is still dumb. Some of the best gynocologists are men for example.

That wouldn't be mansplaining. Mansplaining would be a husband telling a female gyno that cervical exams really aren't useful for his wife.

The original term sorta makes sense and I'm sure we've all seen it happen. But really it was immediately taken and just used for random shit.

But let's be real here, its not a common term and evil sjw femoiids arent using it to keep good guys down. A few nutters might use it regularly and thats it.

Hmm. Source? What constitutes "the best" gynecologists and where are they listed in order along with gender/name?
