Mansplaining 

When a man feels compelled to condescendingly explain something to a woman on a topic that any reasonable person could see she knows more about than he does.

"That's not what mansplaining means. Mansplaining is..." he mansplains.

Mansplaining 

Explanations done (mostly by men to women) in a condescending, overconfident often inaccurate and oversimplifying manner.

In many cases done by some guy to a female expert in a field.

Female expert: Here’s an article that shows how this issue is affecting another issue
Some guy: Well, actually it’s not that simple because this issue is affecting that issue in this way as you would understand if you actually read the article and this passage:*quotes article*
Female expert: I know, I wrote the article you just quoted. Stop mansplaining my own words to me.

When a person (usually a man) explains something that has already been stated or is clearly already known, usually in a condescending way. Usually done because a person feels they need to explain something that really doesn’t need an explanation.

Woman: Hey look there’s the hockey stadium.

Man: Yeah the hockey stadium is where the team plays hockey and you can watch hockey games.

Woman: I know what a hockey stadium is. Thanks for the mansplaining. 🙄

Mansplaining 

When a man explains something to a woman that she already knows.

Usually in a manner in which it is clear that he thinks he is much more knowledgeable than her on the subject and that she has childish intelligence.

For example, a doctor meets a man in a bar and he asks her what she does. She says 'a doctor' and he replies; 'Ah! The thing about health and the human body is...' and proceeds to explain what it's like to be a doctor to her. Even though she is a DOCTOR and he is not.

This guy just told me what it's like to have a period. Thanks for the mansplaining Jeffrey!

Mansplaining 

When someone reexplains something in the same way it was just explained or explains something that the other person obviously understands.

Example 1:

Person 1: "What's mansplaining? Is it when a man explains something to a woman in a patronizing way?"
Person 2: "hmmm... How can I explain this to you in a way you'll get it? Mansplaining is when a man explains something to a women in a condescending way"

Example 2:
Person 1: "In April, Jeff Sessions announced a “zero-tolerance” policy regarding migrant families, which led to the separation of thousands of children from their parents. Trump reversed the order in June due to public outrage"
Person 2 (the mansplainer): "Yeah but it was actually the Trump administration who started child separation in the first place and only reversed it later.

Person 1: "Yeah, I just said that."

Mansplaining 

A man who interrupts or speaks over her with overconfidence and cluelessness, to explain something that she already knows — indeed, something in which she may already be an expert — on the assumption that he must know more than she does. In many cases, the explanation has to do specifically with things that are unique to women — their bodies, their experiences, their lives. When men interrupt or presume to correct a woman who is speaking of her own experience or expertise, they are implying that she is ignorant, that she is incapable of having authoritative knowledge. They are saying, essentially, “Shh. I know best.”

I didn't have a good answer to the facts he presented , so I accused him of "mansplaining". I hypocritically said I wanted him to treat me equally with men, but I can't stand how men talk with each other so I told him he was "mansplaining". I claim I believe in equality and understanding, but the fact that men learned as kids that they have to over explain is just irritating so to get him to shut up i accused him of "mansplaining".
