When a stupid person (in this case a female) asks a distrubingly poorly thought-out question and is then blames her embarrasment, using the โmansplainingโ scapegoat, on the fact that a somebody (in this case a male) answered their question sufficiently.
Female: โIf you pour all of your life savings into the stock of the company you work for and the company does good financially-โ
Male:โYouโre in the green then-โ
Female:โSTOP MANSPLAINING LET ME FINISH!!โ

When a woman says something utterly stupid and a man rudely fails to pretend like she is making sense.
While watching tennis, Mary remarked that she believed Serena Williams would beat Roger Federer if they ever played. Mike explained the biological differences between men and women to Mary. He also explained normal distributions to Mary, and how even though Serena Williams could beat 99.9% of the men in the world in tennis, that means there are thousands of men you have never heard of that could beat her. Mary did not appreciate the mansplaining and would have preferred to continue living in the false reality where women are just as good as men in sports.

Mansplaining happens when a man speaks in a patronising and condescending tone to someone with the incorrect assumption that he is more knowledgeable about a subject than another because of the other personโs sex, class, social status, age and/or experience.
Originally coined by women to refer to misogynistic men, it has since been expanded to apply to all sexes and ages as everyone can be a target of mansplaining, it is not limited to a single demographic.
Some vague examples of mansplaining:
Explaining to a woman how a car runs in simple terms when sheโs a mechanic.
A customer talking in a patronising manner to a new employee about how to do their job, despite them having trained for their job for 10 years.
Explaining to someone why music 50 years ago was better and that they wouldnโt know because theyโre too young to understand.
Etc. etc.

โColton saying the tradition is โboys onlyโ is a great example of how good he is at mansplainingโ
