The habit some men have of making a "well, actually" statement then re-explaining an explanation a woman has just given, adding nothing new or different to the explanation, and in fact frequently adding incorrect information.
This tends to happen a lot on subjects men consider "manly".
Eric tried Mansplaining to Sharon, who has a Ph.d on the subject, because women don't know more than men about anything, ever.
Example: Water is wet.
Well actually, hot water is also wet. In fact, it even feels wetter.

When a mormon man treats not only women, but also non-mormons as if they are stupid.
When John addressed me this afternoon, his tone suggested that he was superior mormon mansplaining.
Mansplain (verb): When a man attempts to explain something to a woman in an authoritative and condescending manner, even though what is being is explained is already understood by that woman as a result of her professional expertise and/or lived experiences, due to a sexist belief that a woman always needs to be told by man how something really works, or in an attempt to undermine the seriousness of sexist behavior and reinforce male authority.
As in, “He mansplained the pain of child birth as beautiful to my sister who had just given birth to her daughter.”
Or, “Most of the Urban Dictionary definitions for mansplain are clear attempts to mansplain away a sexist way of talking to women and sexism in general."
