Mansplain

To explain in a patronizing manner, assuming total ignorance on the part of those listening. The mansplainer is often shocked and hurt when their mansplanation is not taken as absolute fact, criticized or even rejected altogether.

Named for a behavior commonly exhibited by male newbies on internet forums frequented primarily by women. Often leads to a flounce. Either sex can be guilty of mansplaining.

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.
