The tendency of some men to mistakenly believe that they automatically know more about any given topic than does a woman and who, consequently, proceed to explain to her- correctly or not- things that she already knows.
Woman A: When he started mansplaining to me what it really meant to be a woman in the 21st century, I got up and left.
Woman B: Really, what else could you do?

When a man blindly tries to contradict a womanโs correct point without knowing all the information.
Woman: Iโm not planning on giving birth naturally. Thereโs too much to risk.
Man: Actually, natural births have a higher change of survival for the baby and mother.
The woman has already given birth twice. She knows what sheโs talking about, while the man obviously does not. Therefore, he was mansplaining.

Mansplaining sometimes occurs when a female is looking to learn something or work in a male-dominated field (mechanics, engineering, welding, gaming, etc). Upon asking a question or undergoing training, snide comments or patronizing explanations will ensue. Instead of being treated with respect like a fellow human being, female in question is assumed to be inept, incapable, and intellectually on par with a curious 3 year old. While explaining, male must avoid eye contact, mumble incoherently (panic at female presence) or yell angrily (girls donโt belong in X field). Important: man doing the mansplaining must ONLY do it to females.
when talking to a woman, a mansplainer is always better and smarter than her, no matter the experience or education difference.

A bullshit term used by supposed feminists (read: misandrists) to dismiss any logical and/or factual explanation by a man simply because they have issues with men.
Woman: "Men are more privileged than women in almost all areas of life."
Man: "That's not true. We're mostly alone and treated with contempt, nobody cares about our problems, and if we're useless for any reason, we're left to die."
Woman: "Please. Save me your mansplain of how you have it worse than us."
Man: ".... what?"
