Well, I don't know if you are being purposefully misleading or just ignorant of what mansplaining actually is, but here it goes. Mansplaining isn't "men explaining things". It's men explaining things because of an unfounded confidence in their (usually limited) knowledge in one area to a women who actually have an equal or higher level of knowledge in the area, because of internalized prejudices and ideas about the men being and "the wise ones" who come to "save the woman" from her own ignorance.
So yeah, I think the fundamental difference is people not caring to actually understand what "woke culture" is actually complaining about.
