Something to ponder: among the talented comic strips artists here, we have a Rickard and a Pastis. But anyone who has ever drank Ricard knows that Ricard is Pastis. So…
“Man-splaining” is a specific kind of condensation. For instance, every time it’s the punchline of a comic here, I object. I am not man-splaining for a number of reasons, for one thing the cartoonist is male, but also because I’m not telling him how his job is done. I’m being semantic. Man-splaining is not a guest speaker explaining what a guest speaker is. A male audience member interrupting a female guest speaker to explain what a guest speaker is and what she’s supposed to be talking about is “man-splaining.”
The reason women don’t Womensplain is that Women never explain anything. They expect men to magically pick up what they are allegedly thinking through the ether.

Next, Pam will give a demonstration of femmesplaining, as she tells us why she beat MS and Cliff to a pulp.

Sort of think that all the criticism restricting “mansplaining,” is a contributing factor in the “dumbing down” of society.

If a man explains mansplaining is that mansplaining?

Thank you for mansplaining semantics. I sure do feel more smarter now.

This isn’t anger management. It’s more like torture management. Can she best the mansplainer without losing control? Should she have to?

“See, ladies” would seem to imply either that the entire anger management class is female or that MS is being really insulting.

It’s the inverse of what Frank-N-Furter says in Rocky Horror. HR is treating the symptom, but not the cause(s).

Given how some female political figures talk like preschool teachers to their audiences, perhaps “mansplaining” is a misnomer.

Germans have a word for making things worse by improving them — “verschlimmbesserung”. I think this situation is nailing that concept perfectly.
