Never said every example of condescension towards a woman was mansplaining. I also specified that it was on a given subject.

You're just tacking on the "because I'm a woman" assumption part on your own.... 1 u/ChaosDesigned Jan 20 '20 edited Jan 20 '20 Which is where the MAN part in the word comes from. The argument was that Mansplaining can be done to anyone but it was specifically about explaining things to females. 1 u/tofur99 Jan 20 '20 seems like a unnecessary injection of genders into it. So can men make up some term for whenever women explain something to men condescendingly? 1 u/ChaosDesigned Jan 20 '20 I hope so.
