Thursday Clapper

A hypocrite who only pretends to care about someone/something to impress others, whilst secretly destroying it.

Origin:
In the UK during the Covid pandemic NHS staff & carers were dying because they were forced to work without proper protection.

Every Thursday at s a sign of support the nation stood on their doorsteps and clapped, and the the MP's directly responsible for the danger and underfunding did the same in front of the cameras and then carried on dismantling free healthcare and profiting from the crisis.

Did Naomi Campbell stop modelling fur after she did that massive anti-fur campaign?

Nah, she's just a Thursday Clapper

Womansplaining

Womansplaining is the repeated, futile attempt by a woman to get a man/group of men to listen to her when she knows more about a subject (often being her own body) instead of talking over her and dismissing her ideas, thoughts and opinions solely based on her gender.

Often incorrectly used by men, in knee-jerk retaliations, to mean a female version of a "mansplainer." The unequal dynamic is similar to that of the word "whitesplainer;" a patronising white person telling (for example)a black person of colour what it's like to be black, and how they should overcome racism.

I tried telling that man that period pain can be excruciating but he loudly talked over me with his opinion until mine just became futile womansplaining.
