"mansplaining" is an attack by toxic femininity on the normative state of affairs that men like talking about facts and the physical world and how things work. It's just another instance of womanplaining (from "complaining") and name calling, really, and "oh well" is probably a pretty good response.

Just thinking about it some more, maybe "womplaining" is pithier and has a better ring to it.
