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

Well, May be a disclaimer on my side would be good.
I´m not denying and never did it the historical and social oppression of women along millenia,
I´m on the side of their rights as part of all human ones.
Even so, some branches of a good cause seem to focus on the side effects of a bigger problem.
IMO this MAY hide what is more severe about the same.
I imagine the enemies of their rights delighted when some use more time on language expressions (those labels) than in other (IMO) core things to change.
My other worry is that also some seem to describe the more powerful human team, the woman / man couple, as the main enemy.
Same ones also and sometimes put so much wheight on the individuals against all social entities that in fact they converge with the way the powerful want us to see ourselves.
As lonely, isolated, powerless consumers.
My respects.
