The phenomenon really does exist... but 90% of the time it's just a meaningless accusation meant to shut down the conversation.
Mansplaining isn't just when you argue with a woman about something. It's ultimately about an assumption of (in)competence, especially in a professional setting, like when some rube starts "explaining" basic car maintenance to a greased-covered female mechanic in a shop he brought his car into.
I've seen that shit first-hand, it really does happen. But when you disagree with someone and that's met with "mainsplaining"? Yeah, that's usually not it.

@QuixoticSoul I'm aware the concept exists, yes.
I just know that when someone is simply explaining something to another person, that isn't mansplaining...she seems ignorant of that however.
