Not to be confused with mansplained but similar in notion. Manplaining is when a man steps in for a woman to complain on her behalf despite the fact that it is either unnecessary, over the top, and particularly not his fight.

When a young man slightly bumped into Jill in aisle 3 of the supermarket David quickly manplained rebuking the young man in a rather loud manner resulting in a "major scene" despite the fact that the man nor Jill for that matter deemed the the slight contact worthy of any type of verbal exchange.
