Sean Ono Lennon is, as we speak, engaging in a one-man war against mansplaining. By mansplaining about the word mansplaining.
As so many things do, it began with an out-of-nowhere unasked-for declaration of MISANDRY.
The term 'mansplaining,' is sexist.

Oh buddy.
So many tried to warn him.
@seanonolennon you're joking right?

But he was a man on a mission. A douchey, annoying mansplain of a mission. And he’s ready to argue with anyone who disagrees with him. And his disagreements are…something.
He’s also been retweeting any and all positive messages, including one from comedian Owen Benjamin, who I first heard of when he went on a defendathon in favor of Kurt Metzger.
He seems like a cool dude.
@seanonolennon @annagordonia the moral of this thread is disagreeing with a woman makes you a misogynist. pic.twitter.com/PYk5vKaX0d

He’s inspired others to miss the point and further mansplain the word mansplain in a perfect example of the concept of mansplaining.
As writer Feminista Jones pointed out, MANSPLAINCEPTION.
This is one of Twitter greatest Inception moments. Behold, good people. We don't get many of these golden nuggets https://t.co/shhLlTFFi1

It would appear this whole thing started because a Southern California artist, Elizabeth La Fey, aka Globelamp, called for the boycott of Desert Daze, a festival where her ex, Sam France, will be playing, whom she alleges committed domestic violence against her.
Lennon had thoughts on the matter.
In addition to retweeting his mansplain-related defenses, he is retweeting all mentions that speak out against La Fey.
What a guy.
