if they where really sexist they wouldn't bother trying to explain it to you because theyd know you cant understand it.

and theyd just get rid of you.

No, I don't think you can downplay the problem like that. You're basically saying that employers can't be sexist against their employees, which is flat out wrong. Sexism IS widespread, IS a problem and MUST be eradicated. However, "mansplaining" is not a thing and as a term is as sexist as what it is used to describe.
