I mean sure, but you can't deny it's misused sometimes. I never said it didn't happen at all. Stop reading what I didn't write.

    Yes, it's misused sometimes. And it sounds like you agree that sometimes it's the right word for the situation.

    If a man inaccurately and smugly trying to correct a female astronaut, punctuating it with "Simple thermo", isn't the right time to use "mansplaining", then when would be?
