If it's something anyone can do, how is it not sexist to assign it's practice to men?

The way it was explained to me is that it's not just using the word man as a synonym for something bad, it's when men explain an issue only women can understand therefore it is a phenomenon that only men are capable of and so assigning it to men is not sexist. But if anyone can do it assigning it to men is just a way of saying "Men = ignorant"

Like if I coined the term "Womansporting" as being bad at sport because typically less women are interested in sport than men (Or some other stereotype, what ever you get the idea) that would be sexist because of all the women that are good at sport and all the men who are shit at it, where as coining the term "Womanpissing" for being bad at pissing standing up (Probably a bad example, but I'm tired, it's the best you're getting) would not be sexist, because women legitimately do piss sitting down.

TLDR If Mansplaining is something only only men do, it's not sexist to assign that shitty behaviour to men, but if women do it too, then it is fucking sexist to assign a shitty practice to men.

Excuse you, I happen to be good at pissing standing up, and I'm not the only one. Just because most women don't ever try pissing standing up, doens't mean they'd be bad at it if they did.

Maybe, but I'll let you pick any guy who has a penis and any girl without one and we'll have a pissing contest. I propose we play for money.

Like I say, it was a bad example, but my point stands that pissing standing up is just the thing we can point to and say guys are better at it.
