If true, this might explain some failure modes: In a conversation in which a man upsets a woman, each thinks the other is being a bad conversation partner by failing to uphold their responsibilities. (Again, speculative, also I'm not making a normative claim, just descriptive)
I guess more modest version of this claim: many conversational norms are usefully framed in terms of who is supposed to manage a particular emotion, and masculine norms more often assume you manage your own, while feminine ones more often assume you manage the other's.
This does seem to break down in a number of cases: e.g. when men are allowed to be angry at each other doesn't follow this pattern, and I'm a bit confused about what the intended cross gender norms are supposed to be.
if i think about it i've experienced at least 4 subtypes of mansplaining - mansplaining as gatekeeping "oh, you you x, well, what do you know about y??" - mansplaining as performative social status gathering - mansplaining as (semi-inept) flirting - mansplaining as genuine
the main annoyance is it happens so often!
