People try their best to not get the point when it comes to the term 'mansplaining'. Which I think kind of demonstrates why it could be useful in the first place.
If the only way you can make a point is by creating accusative and simplified terms, you're probably not making a good point. Are some men condescending to women? Yeah, no shit Sherlock. Are some Jewish people greedy, manipulative bastards? Yeah, by law of averages obviously, but if you run around yelling about "JewGreed" to fight them people are still going to call you an anti-semite piece of crap (Rightfully, too).
Stop using divisive language if you want equality. Stop demonizing the opposition. It's about educating others, not indignant self-righteousness and groupthink.
