I thought the problem was that in the current usage(or misusage), it's a quick, snappy, gendered means of shutting someone up. Even in the original intended usage of the term, patronizing and mansplaining aren't quite the same; despite roughly analogous root words, mansplaining includes a degree of gender essentialism that patronizing lacks.
