feminists: women only make 77% of what men make for exactly the same work! oh the patriarchy.

factual person: no, they don’t. that statistic is just for overall median pay of full time workers, and does not account for overtime hours worked, location, experience, degree earned, or even the field someone is working in. women make less on average because men and women make different career choices, because believe it or not, men and women are different.

feminist: don’t you mansplain to me! facts and logic are just oppressive constructs to keep women down!
telling a woman that she’s wrong, even when she actually is.

mansplain–to put women down in response to criticism.
even though mansplain only points out a specific aspect of what some men do but not in every context, explainerormansplainer and wicker33 were so overcome by the inability to accept criticism and had to condescendingly mansplain how women must be either dumb; (ironically) unable to take criticism (derp!); or should be dismissed as radical.
a word typically used to imply that the previous speaker is overly condescending and/or has a different way of explaining because he happens to be a man and the other party a woman. usually, this is based in an over- or misinterpretation based on prejudice about the alleged mainsplainers intentions or on an inability to take constructive feedback. sometimes it is used as an attempt to unfairly discredit the speaker or his arguments without having to provide counter-arguments. typically, the mansplainer is simultaneously implied to be s-xist or misogynistic.
explainee: women only earn 80 cents for every dollar a man makes. this is a grave injustice.
