I thought mansplaining was 'a male - usually correctly - explaining absolutely anything ever, or even voicing his opinion.'
It's using logic to attempt to appeal to a woman. They operate on emotions, so the arguments don't make any sense to them.
It's better to come up with an emotional argument, even if it's BS, if you're trying to convince a woman. For instance: You don't say: "Don't cross the road arbitrarily; you stand an increased chance of accidentally clipping a vehicle." You say: "Cross at an intersection; it's scary otherwise."
The best example of why "mansplaining" was a problem is watching a woman tell a man about her problems.
He will immediately begin searching for solutions and offer them up. This will upset her more because she doesn't want solutions. She just wants to vent, talk and be "listened to." This man is now mansplaining her problems to her and is the bad guy for attempting to help her.
Haha it’s so true. I’ve taught my wife that if she brings a problem to me I will either (1) try to solve it or (2) stay silent and let her vent. I don’t even know HOW to commiserate or be a “supportive” person the way women want, because I “support” by looking for solutions. And I only offer the silence-while-vent option 2 to my wife, and she gets that option because she’s my wife. Any female friend, I will help if I can or redirect her to a woman to vent to because I simply don’t know how to commiserate. I’m not just trying to sound tough here, I quite literally cannot do it and just make people more upset if I try!
