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?"

When a woman knows exactly what she is talking about, and yet a man explains it the same exact way in a condescending tone.
Woman: 2+2=4
Man: Actually, my dear, 2+2 is actually a simplified version of 1+1+1+1, and if you add those together, it makes 4. If you want to understand these basic maths better than you do, you could learn from me, I most certainly recommend it.
Woman: I didn't ask for the Mansplaining

Mansplaining is the act of a man explaining something he may not really know to a woman who does. The assumption behind it is that knowledge is somehow inherent in the male condition, paralleling a void of knowledge waiting to be filled in the female condition.
Example - mansplaining
Man: I read a book about the subject *goes on talking about the book* (...). But it's actually really complicated. I'm sure you're not familiar with it.
Woman: I know all about it. I actually wrote that book.

When there is a woman who feels like she is being belittled from a condescending male in a social situation which may be true or could also be because of own personal insecurities/flaws, the term can also be just as belittling and condescending depending on how it is used and so both male and woman (usually both are associated with a certain political stance) begin to argue over which person is more hypocritical. Mansplaining can sometimes be a destructive and derogatory term that is usually associated with the political feminist ideology which fights for equality but has over the years been a way for specific women to generalize towards a male who doesn't agree with that woman's opinion and can use it as an excuse to get what they want, this only goes for certain women who are manipulative; not all woman. Manipulative males do this as well to women but it is usually associated with a different term. When you have both a manipulative male and manipulative woman together, it usually results in a heated argument.
Random conversation a male is having on a woman crush
Woman: I think men need to learn how to treat women better and woman should have equal rights
Male: I totally agree, it is a basic human right to have equal opportunity in the same career regardless of any external factors beyond that person's control.
(Woman with blank look on face)
(male continues)
Male: If we want to be a civilized and equal society, we must first make the time to identify and educate ourselves about our own flaws and work towards them.
Woman: UMM PLEASE STOP MANSPLAINING TO ME LIKE I AM A CHILD, YOUR LAST STATEMENT WAS UNNECESSARY.
Male: Okay! I'm sorry! You had a blank look on your face like you might of been confused so I just wanted to clarify so there isn't any miscommunication.
Woman: I HAVE A BLANK LOOK ON MY FACE BECAUSE I'M HAVING ANXIETY DICKHEAD!!!
Male: Okay! I'm sorry for being a burden.. Why doesn't anyone ever understand me?
(Later on the news)
News Anchor: SIblings found male hanging in bedroom; says he had a history of depression.
Don't let Political ideology morph you into not caring for others, whatever side you associate with; always remember they are human too.

When a man speaks condescendingly to a woman on a matter he believes her to be ignorant of, when in fact his own knowledge of the subject is materially incomplete. The possibility that she may know more about the subject than he does is one that the mansplainer cannot fathom.
Note that simple a misunderstanding, that occurs without derogatory stereotyping or condescension, is not "mansplaining," regardless of the gender of the participants in the conversation.
Jim was mansplaining to Rebecca, an astrophysicist, what causes the tides. When Rebecca's friend tried to tell him Rebecca was an astrophysicist, Jim said, "Oh! You're boyfriend's an astrophysicist. I'd like to meet him."
