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: No, girls pee out of their vagina!
Her: Are you trying to mansplain my own anatomy to me! You bigot! Girls pee out of their urethra, which is another hole separate from the vagina!
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 mansplain mug.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?)

Get the MANSPLAINING mug.if your ever in trouble with a girl or even sometimes this works with dudes I need you to find the stupidest yet most logical way to say it. First It has to be unnecessarily long second it has to be semi relatable and third you gotta make it sound convenient for the other person
Down bellow is an example of a man who was caught and in trouble and he wanted to get off the hook witch arose questions in the other person's mind
"why do you want to be off the hook so bad? Hiding something?"
Incorrect response: " because it's annoying when your CONSTANTLY saying things without judging properly or fairly"
Correct response:
" Well you see it's nothing of wanting to do with other people it's about personal freedom. "Off the hook" a widely used term you see imagine me a fish a great white shark, I wouldn't wanna be stuck on a hook all the time it hurts and makes you bleed so getting off the hook would also allow me freedom. Now imagine me human me and you human you I'm currently on the hook I don't want to be off the hook so I can have Total freedom and do whatever the fuck I want I want to be off the hook so that you don't have to worry about anything! Of course I'm gonna regulate myself. I just don't want you to waste your mental energy keeping me on the hook it's be a waste and you should t waste your energy! You should focus on kicking that rashes ass I know it might feel like it won't change anything but I know it will coming from experience so the reason I want off the hook is so you don't waste your energy and I can focus more on helping you!"
This is proper mansplaination

Get the Mansplaination mug.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
Woman: Yeah, and I ate an egg this morning—
Man: Actually, did you know that chickens sit on their eggs to keep them warm until they hatch?
Woman: Mhm... yes I did.

Get the Mansplaining mug.Mansplaining is an add-on service provided by men when trying to communicate with women. This add-on is rarely offered when communicating with other men, as it is assumed that men prefer to receive information with complete technical accuracy. The only add-on service sometimes offered to other men is background elaboration, which augments the technical content with how it all came to be that way. Men generally don't offer background elaboration service to women, as it often results in things being thrown at them. To date, mansplaining has no standards specification and remains completely ad-hoc, varying widely among service providers. That is due, in large part, to the inherent difficulty interpreting the feedback from the recipient, as it is invariably contradictory to the quality of service.
