Mansplaining

Combination of Man and Explaining.

When a man explains to a woman in full detail something that is very easy to understand of that the woman knows about. It commonly is heard whenever a feminist is around and she doesn't like the way shes being talked to.

Man - You see, the way you work out the hypotenuse is by adding A squared and B squared, then you squareroot the answer
Woman - I have a degree in mathematics, I know how Pythagoras Theory works, stop mansplaining everything

Mansplain

To explain something in an unnecessarily long winded way, so as to dominate the conversation, and to make statements that are not based on facts, assuming that people will believe and agree with him because he is male.

"The recession was caused by the government because it spent too much money and people should look after themselves and not expect society to look after its members or its community... ad nauseam.
...Therefore its all womens fault."

Mansplain

Despite claims of superior strength in avoiding over-emotional reactions, when a man encounters even one iota of criticism of men on the internet, he must then mansplain why women suck by comparison or must be radical feminists.

Mansplain--to put women down in response to criticism.

Even though Mansplain only points out a specific aspect of what some men do but not in every context, explainerOrMansplainer and Wicker33 were so overcome by the inability to accept criticism and had to condescendingly mansplain how women must be either dumb; (ironically) unable to take criticism (derp!); or should be dismissed as radical.

Mansplaining

Mansplaining is 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.

He didn't realize it, but he was mansplaining how a woman's reproductive system works to a gynecologist (who just happened to be female).

Mansplain

Any time a woman is wrong and a man is talking. Sexist framing. Used to undermine anything a male says

When my car broke down, John began to mansplain than I need to change my oil regularly.
