What’s The Word For It When Women Do It To Men?

 What’s the feminine form of “mansplaining”?

“And no offense to guys on this panel, but what man does not like people talking about their manhood, okay?” Carlson said as the panelists – and host – filled the studio with laughter. 
.… 
"Well, I’ve known a few men in my day, and I’m just going to stand by that statement,” Carlson said before continuing what she thinks Trump’s strategy is. “He is hoping to God that they are listening to that and saying, ‘Wow, he's talking about me, and I like Donald Trump and I’m going to go out and vote for him.’”
The only sensible statement on a man’s “manhood” (never, ever heard a man speak that way, but it’s the accepted euphemism) I ever heard from a woman was Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine Benes: “I don’t know how you walk around with those things.”

Anything else is just sheer cluelessness. Because the only guys who talk about it, are insecure about their own. And in 69 years, I’ve known one person like that.

And he wouldn’t be persuaded to vote for Trump discussing Arnold Palmer. If anything, he’d think he was coming up short (sorry!) in the comparison.
