>>558Pretty much, it's a catch-all term meant to dismiss male opinions about anything related to gender issues when they clash with the opinion of a particular woman, and even attack the men who dared voiced a contrary opinion. Nevermind that men are often the ones being criticized, attacked and accused of horrible things in these discussions, and are often only defending themselves.
Here's a great example of how fucking retarded the term is: Take a look at this article about the death of cartoon mother:
http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/07/why-are-all-the-cartoon-mothers-dead/372270/It's a pretty enjoyable read, even though the female writer comes close to going FullMcIntosh at times. However, the article is also full of shit, and generally misses the large, obvious points against its thesis - which the comment section call the writer out on. Here is her response (See the Animated Matricide discussion):
http://m.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/10/the-conversation/379346/Yes, her response to substantive, insightful criticism of her fun, but dumb article is to yell Mansplaining, as if that somehow wins the argument. Keep in mind that this is not some Tumblr SJW, but a woman who just had a huge article published in The Atlantic. The rot goes deep.
