Still not sure I understand what mansplaining is. 

There's the surprise of the decade. 

So you think it's a thing?

It's a thing.

You probably do it every time you talk to your wife.

[derspiess]

It's a thing.

Then please mansexplain to me what you think it is.

You probably do it every time you talk to your wife.

I treat her with the utmost respect.  Except for the times when I'm a total smartass   

[Grey Fox]

It is a stupid thing.

From what I understand it is the act of explaining to women something in a condescending way using male cultural references.

I always thought it was more assuming that because the person in question is a women, she needs an explanation you would never provide to a man in her position.

Yep.

I like this more than my explanation.

Like urinal etiquette?

Wonder if I ever mansplain?  Hope I don't.  Maybe it's best to play it on the safe side and give a complicated, hard to follow explanation

[The Brain]

What if you explain something to a homosexual?

Derweiß always says, "please" to his wife.
As in, "Please? The kids or asleep...can we, just this once on a school night?" or, "But honey, it's my birthday...please?"

I thought it involved the killing of people of unremarkable appearance.  A combination of "Manslaughter" and "Plain".  It would be alarming if Derspeiss did this to his wife.

[derspiess]

I don't do that one, either

[Razgovory]

There should be a "gender-fluidsplain", where the social acceptability of the conversation fluctuates wildly as the participates try to correctly interpret where exactly the other person is on the gender spectrum.
