Mansplaining (verb) - The heroic act of a man patiently explaining, with logic, something not that complex to a woman who insists she already knows-but clearly doesn't. Often met with eye rolls, contridictions, and an unshakable confidence in her incorrect opinion.
Man did you see nphoenixcrimefighter trying to explain what Mansplaining is to Stacy the other night? It's not that hard, but she was being intentionally obtuse. That man has the patience of a saint.

Get the mansplaining mug.A combination of the two words "man" and "explaining" which have been combined and fused in order to make it easier to say often and be easily identifiable.
It is used when a subject often the one question in conversation and following topic at hand is explained in unrequested and unrequired detail. This has been dubbed "Mansplaining" due to women finding it annoying and perceiving it as men looking down on the m without noticing that men just talk to them like they talk to men.
It is also a bit of a an everything word as the definition is very biased as men feel as they did just give helpful advice while women feel looked down upon. This means that you may if you wish utilise this word however you may please and bend the definition to agree with your argument or view.

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.

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.A thought-terminating cliche of sexist hate-speech with the sole purpose of claiming everything that is said is wrong solely due to it being said by a man.
Its use is usually “justified” by claiming that it is only or “originally” intended to only criticize a condescending behavior of chauvinist bullies towards their victims. Even though in all of its short history, it was was never used that way. (See: Gaslighting.)
So it is really just a specific case of the general strategy of modern bullying, where narcissists with a severe inferiority complex realized they could bully others most effectively, by claiming they are the ones being bullied. As most people sadly completely fall for this, hook, line, sinker, fishing rod, fisher and the entire boat and anchor… and can be used to amplify the bullying (aka cancel culture).
This again, is just a specific case of the “eye for an eye” revenge fallacy of thinking one’s evil is not evil “because” somebody else did evil first, even and especially if the other one’s evil is made up with prejudice in the first place. A fallacy that is, incredibly sadly and incredibly primitively, still the base of most legal systems.
Don’t fall for it. There’s just some that want to make us hate each other, to exploit it for power. But people aren’t their stereotypes. People are just people. Be it sexes, ages, nations, peoples, or whatever. If you don’t listen to those who screech, they are literally powerless.

Sexist 1 (m): If you give me seven lines, written by the finest woman, I will find something to burn her as a witch.
Sexist 2 (f): If you give me seven lines, written by the finest man, I will find some mansplaining to destroy his life!
Sexist 1 (m): Oh, *you* can’t do that! Only I am rigtheous!
Sexist 2 (f): Not anymore, grandpa!
Sexist 3 (m): If you give me seven lines, written by the hand of the finest woman, I will find something to call her a feminazi!
Sexist 2 (f): Hey, *you* can’t do that! Only I am righteous!
Sexist 3 (m): Not anymore, grandma!
Sexist 4 (f): …
…
And so on, for all eternity, because apparently everybody’s too stupid and permanently mentally immature to learn a 5500 year old lesson and end the feud.
