    Did you just assume their gender over a comment explaining the details of an attempted smear campaign that many people have probably forgotten about?

    So much for the tolerant left.

        It’s a word, with a specific meaning. It was created to describe the sexist act of a man explaining something to a woman who either already knows, or is an expert in that field, as if she isn’t smart enough to understand the subject. And frequently when a man is confidently wrong on the subject in question.

        Without that sexist connotation, it’s not “mansplaining.” It’s just being condescending. Like you.
