Mansplaining

What does this mean? Google says a man explaining something to a woman in a condescending way. So what if its a woman explaining something in a condescending way? Do we say womansplaining? Why is it just for men? Just curious

Men do it way more often, are more condescending, have a tendency to talk over you (with their louder voices), and often are belittling or use "cutesy" words in reference to yourself as if you're incapable

@DarkSideoftheMoon interesting. That's not been my experience at all. I guess it's going to be different for everyone

@DarkSideoftheMoon I get ignored by most women, until they get to know me or have been around me for a bit.

@WaryWitchWandering i feel like ive come across more women who speak to me in a condescending way but i also spend more time around women so that probably has a lot to do with it.
I find women don't like me much at all.@DarkSideoftheMoon @WaryWitchWandering

@V00doo it’s probably a jealousy or insecurity thing
@WaryWitchWandering I dont know. It's always been a thing. My closest friends have always been male. :/

@V00doo both genders have their things. I feel like personally men always want something from me and women are catty or backstabbing. Women have been more condescending toward me and men are more blunt and rude. Thats just my experience though. But i have good life long friendships with men and women also. Good people are difficult to find regardless i think
