Etymology
Noun
mansplainer (plural mansplainers)
- (informal) One (especially a man) who mansplains.
- 2009 May 8, Karen Healey, “A woman's born to weep and fret”, in Karen Healey's Livejournal, retrieved 26 May 2012:
- Think about the men you know. Do any of them display that delightful mixture of privilege and ignorance that leads to condescending, inaccurate explanations, delivered with the rock-solid conviction of rightness and that slimy certainty that of course he is right, because he is the man in this conversation?
That dude is a mansplainer.
