I noticed this yesterday (h/t Lynn):

I tried to calmly mansplain Hobby Lobby to hysterical liberals, but it only resulted in more hysteria. Vicious cycle. http://t.co/HHw2yGkDLP

Followed by this:

Mansplainer does not realize "mansplain" is an insult RT “@McCormackJohn: I tried to calmly mansplain Hobby Lobby to hysterical liberals…"

I can’t say for certain whether Mr. McCormack intended to use the word “mansplain” in any sort of ironic way, if he was trying to “reclaim” the word for us dudes, or if, as Ms. Marttila posits, he just had no idea. Of those three choices, his prior writings incline me to think it’s the third option.

Speaking as a guy, “mansplain” is not our word to claim—and it was never ours, so we can’t reclaim it, either.

There are some aspects of public discourse that men should not dominate. Let’s all get over ourselves, shall we?
