Mansplain

A verbal tool, generally used by men, to speak over a woman, based on the assumption that he knows better than her. This assumption is generally because she is a woman. Note that the term is especially applicable when the man is wrong anyway.

Man: Listen, do you know the difference between a screw and a nail? Here, I can show you.
Woman: Dude, I own this hardware store. Please stop mansplaining to me.
