It’s best to explain why what’s your doing is not mansplaining. That always works.

The real answer is to leave. I don’t think I’ve ever had a meaningful or productive conversation where any of these were used.

Though I can see stonewalling being used in earnest.

Stonewalling is probably the best only one on that list where a response would actually make anything better.

If somebody accuses you of mansplaining, there is nothing you can do. that makes this so toxic as an argument. It’s basically saying “Whatever you are saying or want to say is worthless because of your gender”. I know that mansplaining is in theory a specific kind of disrespectful explaining, but in too many cases it’s used to deflect valid arguments. If someone is acting like that, the only way is to not interact further.

  Yeah that top part was a joke.
  
  It would be like asking a woman if it’s her time of the month or if she’s PMSing. It’s aggressively devalidating and at that point there’s nothing to say.

  yep. the terms in the op are all thought terminating rhetoric and simply attacks.
