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 don’t 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.
