There are few places I support #Mansplaining: tutorials, reviews, debates or takedown pieces. Seriously, you can mansplain the hell out of the complex interdisciplinary research. #phdchat #AcademicTwitter #OpenScience

Would be good to have a term that emphasises FULLY explaning something in a well rounded manner -- I would avoid "mansplain" though, the term would distract from your intended use till the end of days. "Condes.." (patronizing superiority) also not good.

I still think it's less than ideal to use splain in the OP context.
