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.

Him: Girls only wear high heels because they’re insecure about their height and wish they were taller.
Her: Don’t try to mansplain why I chose to dress this way! Some women wear heels because they feel like a BOSS BITCH in them! Slay queen

Get the Mansplainingmug. When a man unnecessarily explains something to a woman that is either basic knowledge or a topic the woman knows more about, and she has mentioned her knowledge on that subject to him before. Most women find this annoying (though some think it's cute, myself included, but only when he's sharing because he's genuinely excited about his knowledge on that).
A perfect example is men trying to mansplain the term "mansplaining" itself, saying that the word doesn't even exist and that only feminists use it. (Hint: check a dictionary.)
