I tweeted that a certain politician was "no Jack Kennedy". (This was a reference to a classic vice-presidential debate moment when Lloyd Bentsen told Dan Quayle: "I served with Jack Kennedy.
I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy.")

A mansplainer presumed to advise me that JFK's name was John and no one ever called him "Jack".

I replied that Lloyd Bentsen must not have known JFK as well as he'd claimed to.

A third person posted video of the debate moment, describing it as very famous.

To the vast surprise of no one with two X chromosomes, the mansplainer never apologized.
