mansplaining

When a man attempts to explain to a woman her own job/ idea back at her then gets offended because they don't understand how smart they are. Often used as a term by women to try to explain to men how offensive and derogatory this behaviour is, but taken personally by insecure men who are afraid of treating women equally with respect. These men typically try to use Feminism - the belief that women should be treated with equality - as a bad word. The fact that being sexist is just as bad as being racist is not likely to occur to mansplaining men.
