the human female equivalent of mansplaining. Complaining is the principal female response to the fact that there are things in the universe that they cannot control. Although the genetic phenotype for complaining is present in all humans, it is repressed to varying degrees by the presence of a Y chromosome due to the selective advantage that complaining holds over mansplaining. In short, the burden of perpetuating the human genome falls much more upon females than it does on males; and it is substantially safer to complain about one’s lack of control over objects and events in the universe and do nothing about it, than it is to mansplain the universe to the ends of trying to change it. The phenotypic distinction between males and females in regard to the complain/mansplain dichotomy is observable in the typical male’s reaction to female complaining consisting of attempting to “fix” the thing being complained about, rather than taking the safe route of simply pretending to listen and then doing nothing.
Female- This definition of complaining is stupid.
Male- Well it makes some interesting points about the utility of complaining versus mansplaining.
Female- Now you're stupid.
Male- I understand.

Complain hard is a come back to anyone who uses that awful term try hard because all it means is they're trying to compensate that they don't try enough they don't do what it needs to succeed so they want to punish people for doing what needs to be done because they can't dare see someone having more determination than them to get better which is what it takes for even people with Talent they didn't just get good they had to practice so it's both a way to point out their contradiction and their insecurities.
The definition for complain hard is somebody that uses try hard to put someone down because they're actually trying to get better like they did. It's used to point out the hypocrisy and using the word tryhard for example let's say someone who has gone through what they needed to do to get there when you do the same thing they look at you like that's a bad thing and call you a try hard which is all that word really means that you're trying

To complain in a nice way when trying not to hurt someone's feelings, but you want to get your point across.

Christopher Hitchens warned not to let people take away your right to complain. When he said it he was talking about Islam specifically but I think it speaks to a broader point about what's happening in society today.
Hym "No. Don't fuckin listen to Matt. He knows and has conceded entirely that he is not fit to be a mustache-man. He lives a life of shame as a disgusting smooth-face and should be treated with nothing but contempt and derision. The right to complain, however, IS fit to be a mustache-man. It is our fundamental right. The CARDINAL right from which all other rights are derived. The conservatives are trying to take that away from you (not in a legislative capacity but a social capacity) with their 'Stop complaining and get back to work, slaves' rhetoric and the Liberals are trying to take that right away ( again, not in a legislative capacity but in a social capacity) with their 'Anti-aggrievement' rhetoric that presupposes the grievances of the under-class that you are allowed not to give a shit about are illegitimate. Reject this blatant and repugnant attack on our rights! I am aggrieved! I have a right to BE aggrieved! And my rights will not be denied!"
