to delighting in condescending, inaccurate explanations delivered with rock solid confidence of rightness and that slimy certainty that of course he is right, because he is the man in this conversation

1. When a man thinks he knows more about being a women than an actual women does
2. When a man thinks his opinion is better or more valid than a women's, and "explains" how he's right in a condescending way that he wouldn't use towards another man

A term used to describe an instance where a man will attempt to explain something to a woman as if they're talking to a young child. In many cases, what the man is trying to explain is something which the woman already understands... or at least, has a better understanding of than the person who believes it is his duty to school her.
Fiona: Just the other day my boyfriend tried to explain to me the right way to cook and prepare dinner.
Jessica: But... you're a chef!
Fiona: I know, but that didn't matter to him. I had to listen to him mansplaining to me the right way to do it. From a guy who only knows how to nuke ready meals in the microwave.

The explanation of something by someone who identifies as Male, typically to a sexist woman (or someone who doesn't identify as Male), in a manner Supposedly regarded as condescending or patronizing. But is really just because they would rather not hear from anyone who identifies as Male (or doesn't Pass as Female or androgynous in their eyes)
Mansplaining isn't really a Thing, just another toxic tactic to both Gaslight and manipulate other's & situations, especially when Wrong in an Argument or misinformed/not informed about a thing in Question. But doesn't desire to be Wrong.
Mansplaining also cannot exist without the sister phrase "Femsplaining", which has the Exact same Definition.
"Oh Wow, your response is Classic Mansplaining, Ugh"
"Don't talk down to Me, _____ is Totally not ____, it's _____! Quit Your Mansplaining, you're wrong and stupid, I'm always right! "

When men assume their knowledge and experiences are more valid/worth listening to than a woman's perspective/knowledge/experience. This is an unfortunate side effect of growing up in a patriarchal society where men are taught entitlement over physical and intellectual space.
Rather than listen to my sister discuss her knowledge on the topic which she has a Masters in, her boyfriend began mansplaining and talking over her about his supposed perspectives despite her greater knowledge on the topic.

Interviewer: So what exactly is mansplaining?
Man: I'm not sure, I think it's every time a man speaks.
*Feminist in the corner making triggered noises*
