The only place I see those terms used to describe benign behavior is in rage bait. My guess is that you haven't heard someone use those terms in a serious way because of an internet bubble or something.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansplaining Wikipedia says it originated as a call out for internalized misogyny, but now is used very generally.
I bet you could find info on the rest pretty easily.
Also its real ironic that your comment meets the definition of mansplaining lol.
I'm not a woman though, but if any read your comment then you meet the strict definition lol.
Asking someone to explain mansplaining is mansplaining. Got it.
Homie I gotta stop biting. If you can't see how your comment was:
Idk what to tell ya.
Good luck out there.
Asking someone to explain something is none of those things.
Oh yeah you are 100% right. It was the rest of the comment.
BTW I think you are a fine fella. Sorry I didn't say that more. I wish ya the best.
You asked, but then gave three inaccurate statements that have already had detailed answers about the meaning. It isn't mansplaining because you weren't directing it at a woman, but the comment as a whole would fit the definition if it was directed at a woman.
All three terms are more nuanced than that even if some people ignore the context and use them in a sexist way against men in general. There will always be a number of people who use words incorrectly.
