I am fairly certain mansplaining refers to when a person in a position of privilege “explains” to the unprivileged individual “facts” on certain topics that they, as they are in a position of privilege, are uniquely unqualified to explain. Specifically sex privilege. Cissplaining, straightsplaining, and whitesplaining have more of this sense than the following sense: When a male explains to a female (usually condescendingly) something that they assume the female (usually knowing this thing) doesn’t know (usually because they are female).
I don’t know how that fits with your proposed instance of hypodiction. Unless ME knows how to solve Problem Z and their knowledge is specifically related to the concept.
I recently had to correct myself saying “Seriously, I don’t even recall seeing the word “cissexism” in actual use before this whole discussion” to “Seriously, I don’t even recall seeing the word “cissexism” in actual non-Tumblr use before this whole discussion”. And I speak ideologically-sound fluently, if as a second language.

But yes, that should be a word.
I am not remotely certain what any given use of social justice terminology refers to these days. Blame Tumblr and fanfiction.net.

“splaining” is a suitable abbreviation.
Usually I’d complain about the unmatched tag yet with “’splain” leaving off the opening tag somehow seems appropriate.
He opened that tag back in his very first comment on LW, all those years ago. Its reign of terror has finally come to an end!
You think you can justify abuses of notation? Well, ?
