The act of a man interrupting a woman, due to a belief that his genitals somehow makes his opinion inherently superior.
The nature of the term makes it hard to discriminate between someone manterrupting and your every day, run-of-the-mill, interrupting asshole.

- I wish John would stop manterrupting me, I couldn’t get a word in sideways.
- Oh, that's just John being his regular asshole self, interrupting everybody.

Manterrupting: a sexist display of male "dominance". A trait that has not yet been lost despite decades of evolution. When men interrupt women because they "believe" that what they have to say is somehow more important.
Boy: why aren't you joining in on the conversation any more? Talk wth us!
Girl: I would love to, but anytime I try to say to chime in, but your buddies keep manterrupting me.

A word invented by men hating females to add to their constant crusade of putting the male sex down due to narrow mindedness and the feeling that the only voice worth hearing is a female one driven by an "I'm always right and you're always wrong" mentality.
He was manterrupting her, because she spook too insecure about a subject he knew more about.
It was a manterruption.

When a male interrupts a female because they assume that whatever a female is saying must be of very little importance.
I was trying to explain why taking the freeway to my parents' house was a bad idea on the weekend, but he just kept manterrupting me. According to him, he knew how to drive and didn't need my help. That's why we got stuck in a two hour traffic jam.

A man's inherent right to interrupt a woman's opinion solely based on the fact that he is superior by dint of his gender. Men are by every quantifiable measure vastly superior to women, and as such are free to stop a woman mid sentence in order to bring veracity, logic, or common sense into the conversation.
Woman: "I just feel that I do the same amount of work and get paid less, this wage gap is..."
Man: "I call upon the power of manterrupting! Listen closely you silly bitch. he wage gap has been
debunked and proven inherently false over and over. It doesn't exist, and your desire to
prove it exists is simply a reaction that is increasingly common among increasingly entitled
women.
Woman: I feel that is untrue based on nothing other than my own feelings at present, which I now
choose to believe over your impeccable logic and superior thinking capability.

Manterrupting occurs when the more competitive nature of males drives a male to interrupt a sentence or conversation of a male or female in order to interject their own views or statements. While this practice can occur male to male, it occurs more frequently male to female as, by nature, females are conflict avoidant and will oftentimes back down and allow the interruption.
Many males dislike this urban slang term as it's usually used by a female to describe male behavior.

Joe Schmoe is manterrupting again, it's like he never knows when to let others talks and just listen patiently like the rest of us do.
