    Apparently, I am 'la chica que hace mansplaining.' Twitter does not translate this well. Spanish speakers, please explain?

        You’re a mansplaining woman. The appropriate response: “Besa mi culo.”

        Yes, Helen. I am providing you with the necessary vocabulary to tell them to use their angry little lips to kiss your perky English behind.

        Funny thing is I can read and speak Spanish just fine, but I still am not sure I know what mansplaining means.

        It just means a man dared to speak, which is not allowed in this new world order.

        One wonders why they didn't just say "mansplanea" or calque is as "hombrexplica" 😂 Then again, those types chose "latinx" over "latine", which fits the language and orthography *much* better... so it's not as if they understand Spanish linguistics all that well

        the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language, in Spain, does not tolerates manipulations with the language, they have fought with latin american academies for creation new words and terms. they are still the accepted authority on the spanish language.

        Yeah, but will it last? The Americas have a odd tendency of shirking off colonial European control 😜

        You're being accused of mansplaining. Because that makes sense.
