Mansplain

The habit some men have of making a "well, actually" statement then re-explaining an explanation a woman has just given, adding nothing new or different to the explanation, and in fact frequently adding incorrect information.

This tends to happen a lot on subjects men consider "manly".

Eric tried Mansplaining to Sharon, who has a Ph.d on the subject, because women don't know more than men about anything, ever.
Example: Water is wet.

Well actually, hot water is also wet. In fact, it even feels wetter.

Mansplain

Mansplain (verb): When a man attempts to explain something to a woman in an authoritative and condescending manner, even though what is being is explained is already understood by that woman as a result of her professional expertise and/or lived experiences, due to a sexist belief that a woman always needs to be told by man how something really works, or in an attempt to undermine the seriousness of sexist behavior and reinforce male authority.

As in, “He mansplained the pain of child birth as beautiful to my sister who had just given birth to her daughter.”

Or, “Most of the Urban Dictionary definitions for mansplain are clear attempts to mansplain away a sexist way of talking to women and sexism in general."

Mansplain

(Of a man) To explain something to a woman in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing. What sets mansplaining apart from a man simply explaining something or giving an opinion is that the mansplainer typically has less knowledge of the topic than the party he is explaining it to, but has assumed that because she is female she cannot comprehend the topic as well as a man could.

Exampes of what is NOT mansplaining:

1) A man explaining how to use a power tool to a woman who needs help using it.
2) A man expressing an opinion on a subjective topic or engaging in a debate with a woman about a topic about which they have similar levels of knowledge

Examples of what IS manplaining:

1) A man who has no formal knowledge of automobile repairs explaining to his female mechanic how an engine works.

2) A man who has never studied gynecology explaining to a woman how she should feel when she is on her period.

Female physicist: "I was giving a lecture on Thermodynamics at the university, and afterwards this guy who had taken one class on the subject pulled me aside and tried to mansplain my own theories to me."
