What? It's just helpful advice because we know better.

Today, I introduced the concept of 'mansplaining' to my husband. Ever since, he's been deliberately mansplaining every single thing to me. All. The. Time. FML

Mansplaning term is just a way to easily ignore the message. It often seems to come from people who don't handle criticism well. Same with term "haters". Just gives a sense of entitlement to one party and allows them to ignore the facts. If you disagree with me then it's not that I am wrong, it's because you are a hater. (As an example)

Mansplaining is a completely sexist idea to discredit any argument made by a man, because radical feminists can't handle logic. You deserve to be spoken to like an idiot if you're going to act like one

You deserve it for thinking that "mansplaining" is a thing. If you asked me what Flexeril was and I told you that it was a low level muscle relaxer. That's not "mansplaining" that's me giving you an answer to something you asked.

Mansplaining is not a man just explaining something. Mansplaining is the guy who went to space camp lecturing a female astrophysicist who he doesn't even know on Twitter about basic astrophysics.

Then he's just an asshole. We don't need a new word for that. And especially we don't need a word that makes it obviously clear, that the issue is gender-related and the ones who are being the assholes are the men.

All they said was that they explained what it was. Not that it's a term they use all the time. And saying they deserve it or that their husband should leave them just for thinking a different way. What is wrong with you people?! You're making so many cruel assumptions based in absolutely nothing.

If you bring up mansplaining you deserve every single bit of karma that comes your way.

Just reread the fml. She introduced it. My argument is invalid.

Maybe you shouldn't get your terms from Tumblr. You reap what you sow

So basically everyone replying needs to Google the word 'mansplaining', and try some sources that aren't urban dictionary.

you're right, buzzfeed and feminist are would likely have a more accurate definition of mansplaining since they're the ones that made it up ?
