How did the 2010s anti-“mansplaining” media campaigns make you feel?

Question

The Hacker News crowd has a lot of behaviors which are basically something like "Look at what I have learnt!" or "Look what I made and how I did it!" so I thought that this might be one of the best places to ask a question on this topic.How did the stigmatization of "mansplaining" during the 2010s make you feel, emotionally? Were there things that you wanted to say in some contexts, but self-censored at the last moment? How do you feel about these things today, has your self-expression been affected long-term?

I was once accused of mansplaining by a marketing intern. I assured her that if I sounded like I was talking down to her about a technical issue, it was because she is in marketing, not because she's a woman

It's obviously sexist to make the act of a man explaining something inherently suspect. If a blogger or tweeter uses the term I stop reading.
