Mansplaining 

A feeble attempt for Women to again make Men aware how rude it is to explain to them their own job/skills/capabilities. Feeble as men prefer to maintain gender inequality because it benefits them to ignore their horrible behaviour and continue to dominate and control for the sake of their insecurities. It I am much easier to be angry and blame women for wanting to be treated equally than to learn how to treat them with respect and decency.

She said I was mansplaining when allI was doing was giving her advice on how to handle a situation in her job.

Mansplaining is a man explaining something to a woman in her own area of expertise.

It was excruciatingly painful to overhear the mansplaining she was subjected to on a daily basis.

mansplaining 

Current and widest usage:
A form of sexist hate speech designed to denigrate men and shut down their ability to participate in a discussion, through the use of a term designed to have a shaming impact on them, but which really indicates that the user has no real ideas or arguments, and is relying one her privileged status as a female to deny equal conversational rights to a male, or men in general.

Original intent:

A term used to shame and shut down a man who a woman felt was "talking down to her" about a subject that she already knows about. - For example, a man trying to explain how an airplane works to a woman who has been a pilot for twenty years.

"When your brother did that, I felt like he was being rude to me, so I guess I was rude back"
"Quit mansplaining, you condescending jerk!"

mansplaining 

Mansplaining is when a man takes over a conversation about a topic he knows little, or less about than the woman he is talking with (or the other non-cis-male folks). It can be about anything really, and the worst happenings are when the women not only know all about the topic, they often have written an entire book on it, etc. This phenomenon of erasure of women's knowledge happens because men (especially white-cis men) are raised to believe that their opinions and thoughts matter most -- that their intellect is supreme. This is about Male Privilege and not all men do it.

I was talking about the book I just wrote to a friend when a man interrupted me to tell me all about the topic. Not only is that rude, it's the definitive mansplaining behavior.

Mansplaining 

It's when a Man speaks to someone, particularly to a female who has less knowledge on the subject matter, but the other person being illogical and egoistic disregards the entire conversation and accuses him of talking to her in a rather condescending tone( which is generally not true).

Man: Hey! Man how have you been?
Other: I am part of an Alphabet gang and you will refer to me as Zir/Zer.
Man: But according to biology, there are two sexes.
Other:Stop Mansplaining.

mansplaining 

Mansplaining is a term for the condescending way *some* males *sometimes* explain things to females that may or may not need explaining. The difference between "explaining" and "mansplaining" highly depends on tone, which, if condescending, reveals an assumption of authority and power over the female on the part of the male. The difference is also rooted in the historical inequality of the sexes; males historically had more social/legal authority and power than females (and arguably, in many ways still presently do), and ingrained, unrealized biases tend to still be internalized long after political actions have been taken to equalize power. These unrealized biases often subtly worm their way into communication styles, many times through unchecked assumptions (even if innocently unrealized) and tone. This happens not just in regards to the struggle between sexes for *equal* authority, power, and political/social voice, but "mansplaining" is the term often used in this male/female context for the communication described.

While adding oil to my car engine at the gas station, a man stopped to kindly ask if I needed help (even though he'd probably not have done so had I been a male). When I said 'no thank you,' the man continued to stand there, "mansplaining" the parts of the vehicle, why it was important to make sure the engine always had enough oil, and how to properly add it. It hurt my feelings and made me sad, even though I know he thought he was just trying to be kind. It hurt my feelings because, by continuing to stand there and "mansplain," he 1) ignored my response, and 2) assumed that I was not intelligent/informed enough to decide for myself whether or not I needed assistance.

Mansplaining 

The act of a man explaining something he may not really know to a woman who does, and the assumption behind it that knowledge is somehow inherent in the male condition, paralleling a void of knowledge waiting to be filled in the female condition.

At a coffee shop, a group of mothers discuss breastfeeding; a man interjects to provide his opinion of the pros and cons of the activity, thereby mansplaining.
