Without really answering your question, I think any pejorative that is based around generalizing an entire behavior as the result of biology/gender/sex is pretty offensive.
In other words, phrases like 'mansplaining' are just as offensive as phrases like 'man-up' or 'stop being such a girl' when being said with a serious or negative tone; and I think the use of such language exacerbates the problem rather than simply pointing it out.
Yes, I think that language is abrasive and contrary to the goal of unification. No, I don't find it surprising that the internet can be a horrible place.
