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.

Get the Mansplaining mug.When a man attempts to explain, make a suggestion, give advice, or come to a conclusion on a topic highly pertaining to something females are much more well-versed in. Such topics include, but are not limited to: female anatomy, women’s clothing and shoes, beauty products, etc.
Some use the term “mansplaining” in every context in which a male tries to explain something he is not an expert in. As the author of this definition, I believe the word should be more exclusive to when males try to explain something relating to females.
