So mansplaining is just an asshole who interrupts someone but it's only mansplaining if it's a woman ?

Mansplaining is a made up word by extreme feminist that means being patronizing and condescending to a woman. Personally I think it just another way to try and victimize themselves.

My understanding of mansplaining is when a man (not a licensed gynaecologist or other medical expert) tries to explain things about being a woman to women (e.g., if a woman is experiencing menstrual cramps and a man explains what cramps are and how to deal with them). Another example is the time Tom Cruise claimed that women who use medication to treat post partum depression are in the wrong and they just need to take more vitamins. http://www.postpartumprogress.com/postpartum-depression-tom-cruise-finds-cure

I've seen it used in the context of simple being condescending to a woman, but what you are saying does make much more sense Fox.

Thank you. I don't agree when people call simple condescension "mansplaining" because that defeats the purpose of the portmanteau "man" + "explaining."
