Misandrystanding

The insinuation of negative or hostile intentions, condescension, or disrespect from men, where none was intended by that man.

Karen was constantly complaining about her managers' "mansplaining" her job to her, because her paradigm couldn't accept that she was literally obligated to follow company policy, and that it hadn't anything to do with her gender. Her presupposition of masculine hostility and disrespectfulness on their part was an example of profound misandrystanding, bolstered by cognitive dissonance and denial.
