The idea that men being accused of "mansplaining"† is meant to equate to organized harassment campaigns against women pretty much sums this whole issue up.

Thank you. If I had myself suggested people believed that, I'd be accused of caricaturing. But we'd both know: I wouldn't have been.

(or "patronizing", a word that means literally the exact same thing and has somehow been used for centuries without mortally injuring our manly feels)

No and that isn't what I said. That was in reference to a certain demographic of people that do target men specifically because they are men and men are equivalent to being the devil, since their beliefs are borderline a religion to begin with I feel fine in making that equivalence.
