Mansplaining

When someone reexplains something in the same way it was just explained or explains something that the other person obviously understands.

Example 1:

Person 1: "What's mansplaining? Is it when a man explains something to a woman in a patronizing way?"
Person 2: "hmmm... How can I explain this to you in a way you'll get it? Mansplaining is when a man explains something to a women in a condescending way"

Example 2:
Person 1: "In April, Jeff Sessions announced a “zero-tolerance” policy regarding migrant families, which led to the separation of thousands of children from their parents. Trump reversed the order in June due to public outrage"
Person 2 (the mansplainer): "Yeah but it was actually the Trump administration who started child separation in the first place and only reversed it later.

Person 1: "Yeah, I just said that."
