mansplaining, is when a man takes the opportunity to prove his existence in a conversation and give himself a pat on the back when talking about something personal to a woman as if he knows her life more than she does, as if he knows what's best for her more than she does.
Woman:"Sorry, I feel really down right now, I'm not in the mood for going out"
Man mansplaining:"I don't believe you're really sad, I think your sadness comes from your own perception of your life, you are seeking this sadness, consciously or unconsciously. Therefore, I don't think you should think about all this because if you're sad, then certainly you have decided it, I won't make this longer, but I think this is really bad for you and everyone surrounding you, including me".
