Get the Mansplain mug.When a man (not all men, so don’t hate) has some sort of insecurity which makes him want to be better than a woman in every situation so he explains simple things to women for a false sense of superiority. Usually the things they explain are things the women already know. There are cases where the man does not know the woman’s knowledge and tries to help her. If this happens, just apologize and say you weren’t aware of their knowledge. (There are feminists who use this term to degrade men, and at that point, they are not being a feminist, but a bad person)
