Every woman on the planet has had to face mansplaining — but this Twitter user found the king of the practice.
Mansplaitient Zero, if you will.

It started with The Guardian tweeting out their story about photographer Laura Dodsworth‘s new project, in which she photographed 100 women’s vulvas — then described how the subjects felt about the process and their privates.
And this guy actually CORRECTED the female photographer AND the woman who wrote the story:
The correct word is vagina.

And he wasn’t close to being done, as Twitter user @Chinchillazilla found when she went down the rabbit hole…

Yep. He corrected an expert after she told him he was wrong.
His argument is actually that the term “vulva” is wrong despite being technically correct because the experts should yield to common incorrect word usage.
He even corrected someone on the term “mansplaining”! Seriously!
That’s an incorrect use of the word mansplaining. :-). Not that I want to legitimize the term, but by its own definition it requires more than just having just a man who is explaining something. Even if some in the audience are women.

As you might imagine, the responses to his hitting a new benchmark in mansplaining — incorrectly correcting multiple women on the female anatomy and THEN on the term “mansplaining” itself — were numerous and hilarious.
Hi Paul. It looks like you need some help with the female anatomy. This picture should clarify the difference for you. And the focus of the pictures in this article are in fact of vulvas pic.twitter.com/bdw9u5IqxE

Hello, Paul.
I am also a mediocre (at best) white man. I say this so you are aware that my words have the same value as yours.
You are, in every sense of the word, incorrect.— Saalaksin, Wordsmith Resurgent (@thanatos5150) February 11, 2019

He's lost control, he's hydrosplaning.

But @Chinchillazilla had to look more into the man himself:
