@hafnia It’s probably because the chief complaint revolving around mansplaining is that it is an aggression of sorts, but the etymology of the word ā€œmansplainingā€ is clearly designed to be a (counter)aggression directed at men. If you take someone’s racial or gender or sexual identity and bundle it up into a pejorative and then use it in casual conversation, you may find that the targeted group feels a bit aggrieved.
