Mansplain

When a know-it-all man (read: most) explains something to a woman in the most dickish, condescending, patronizing way possible, never realizing she already knows what he's talking about (read: she has a PhD in the topic), often leading to the woman nodding in vague, wide-eyed agreement that says, "I hope no one EVER fucks this guy, ever."

mansplain

Mansplain is often referred to when someone extensively explains something that the other party already has knowledge of, often in a condescending manner. The term is a combination of the words "man" and "explain" due to the commonality of men doing this. However, it can be used more broadly than just with men. This term is a negative term and is usually used by women.

Person #1: So I'm picking up my new GPU on the way home from work, right, when some dude in the store decides that I don't know enough and mansplains how to build a rig from scratch.
Person #2: But wait, didn't you build yours? Isn't that your job?
Person #1: Yeah but the dude just wouldn't stop or listen. I had to lie about having an appointment so I could just go to the register.

mansplain

An attempt by men/boys to help women/girls and provide information they believe that the women/girls need. Usually, the intent it to be helpful, not condescending; however, the effect is condescending. As a result, a great deal of controversy and anger exists; as with many -isms, it is the effect and not the intent that results in the definition. In addition, with many -isms, those guilty of mansplaining react with anger, derision, and ridicule rather than considering it a teachable moment.

Male runner at the start line of a trail race, observing a woman drinking from a water bottle: "You know, you should be careful the amount of water you drink, so that you don't suffer from hyponatremia. It's a very serious problem that can lead to death."

Female runner: "Um, thanks for the mansplain. I have a degree in exercise science, so if you'd like more information on that subject, I can help you out. "

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.

Mansplaining is just another form of sexism.

Mansplaining

When a male identifying person spends way too much time explaining something that is simple, or that is uninteresting to anyone (usually female identifying); also when a male spends way too much time explaining something to a female, who knows more about the subject than the male, because of the deeply embedded assumption that men "know more" than women
