The simplifying or for women reading this "dumbing down" of an already simple logical premise/point/definition or task in an attempt to get a woman to understand it.
Jenny was angry that Henry was mansplaining how to read the map. She told him it was his fault she got lost afterwards because his explanation confused her. Without it, she would have been fine she claimed (despite his mansplaining was delivered in response to her asking"How do I use this map?)

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.)
Or

Man: Actually, did you know that chickens sit on their eggs to keep them warm until they hatch?
Woman: Mhm... yes I did.
