Mansplain

A term used to describe what is considered a male behavioural tendency when talking to females to overexplain, to talk down to or in a condescending manner, often with the assumption that the female interlocutor lacks knowledge or is unable to understand or comprehend complex subjects or logical thinking.

Sometimes also associated with prideful male pontification and a desire to appear knowledgable, and often linked to a tendency to ignore the central or most important issue(s) at hand and focus on or divert the conversation to easy to quantify but non crucial elements.

The term is also noted for the strong reaction it often engenders.

1. Darling, you’re mansplaining. I have a degree in electrical engineering and I know how a toaster works. But, if you thinks it’s fine, we can buy it.

2. He was so busy mansplaining how important the side mirrors are, he backed into the neighbour’s car.

3. I don’t care how the gun works, just stop mansplaining it and let me watch the movie.

MANSPLAINING
