Girls, we have all heard the term mansplaining. Is there such a thing as womansplaining? If so what would be the context?

[brendon76]

Mansplaining - the explanation of something by a man, typically to a woman, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing. Definition from Dictionary. com

No such thing as womansplaining

Yes womansplaining is a thing

Other, please explain

[TacosRAwesome]

Why not dicksplaining or bitchsplaining where someone explains something in a condescending manner and it counts for all situations?

[brendon76]

Well that’s sort of what I was wondering, why limit it to just men.

[TacosRAwesome]

Just need to find a short gender neutral insulting word to start with.

[brendon76]

Maybe it should just be dumbsplaining or downsplaining.

[Ellie-V]

Yes it’s a thing. And it can be applied in any context when one gender feels to the need dumb down the other.

[SarahsSummer]

While women have to explain many things to men, I dont think we do it in a condescending manner as men would to us. So there's not really a womansplaining label to our explaining.

[ItzLaura]

It's all a load of bs in my opinion lol
