Them:

Definition of "Mansplaining"

You:

Isn’t that misandry to assume the man is a sexist

That explanation requires prior knowledge or post hoc knowledge

They didn't make any assumptions, nor did they explain anything that "requires prior knowledge" -- because they gave a definition of a term, not a scenario. Your questioning only makes sense if they were talking about a scenario. It makes no sense as a follow up to a definition.

Anyways, that's just meta noise.

Correct, both are based on assumptions that are as offensive as the assumption that they’re mansplaining or a dei hire or whatever.

My point is that you can’t use either without yourself being bigoted enough to come to a conclusion based on bigoted assumptions so how are they substantially different?

You're free to call women bigoted for how they feel about their lived experience regarding condescension from men. Just as I'm free to judge that as incel behaviour.
