dansplaining

When a blond swiss guy unnecessarily corrects or completes what someone is saying in a pompous, presumptuous and sometimes even slightly insolent manner
Stop explaining how the Federal Assembly works, what you are saying isn't even entirely correct.

Someone has to tell that swiss blond guy to stop correcting people eventhough they didn't ask for it. It's dansplaining and it is annoying everyone!

Mansplaining

Explanations done (mostly by men to women) in a condescending, overconfident often inaccurate and oversimplifying manner.

In many cases done by some guy to a female expert in a field.
Female expert: Here’s an article that shows how this issue is affecting another issue
Some guy: Well, actually it’s not that simple because this issue is affecting that issue in this way as you would understand if you actually read the article and this passage:*quotes article*
Female expert: I know, I wrote the article you just quoted. Stop mansplaining my own words to me.

Mansplaining

When a person (usually a man) explains something that has already been stated or is clearly already known, usually in a condescending way. Usually done because a person feels they need to explain something that really doesn’t need an explanation.

Mansplaining

A hate speech slur often used by a woman who is losing an argument in an attempt to invalidate a man's position by bashing his gender. The term was invented by feminists who realized they had no ability to use logic, facts, and reason, and therefore needed a buzzword to shame men into silence. The feminists claim the word means that a man is explaining something in a condescending way, but that's only a false cover. The English language already has terms for that such as "to patronize." "Mansplain" is generally used to belittle a man based on his sex when a feminist is incapable of countering his argument and her feelings are hurt.
Male pharmacist: You should never overuse acetaminophen because it could damage your liver or kidneys.

Feminist: Oh, my God, stop mansplaining to me.

Pharmacist: It's my job to make sure you understand this medication so you can use it safely.

Feminist: Stop it! You're talking down to me. I'm an expert because I watched a Youtube video on the topic.
