Still not sure I understand what mansplaining is. 

There's the surprise of the decade.  :lol:

So you think it's a thing?

It's a thing.

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

Then please mansexplain to me what you think it is.

QuoteYou 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   :)

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?  :D

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 :hmm:

What if you explain something to a homosexual?
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

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.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

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.
