Mansplaining

A man explaining something to a woman in a way that is patronizing because it assumes that the woman will be ignorant of the subject matter.

Woman speaking to another woman: “ I don’t want to drink too much tonight, I have to work in the morning.”

Man standing near them at the bar: “ Actually if you drink a glass of water and take an ibuprofen before you go to bed you won’t be hungover.”

Woman: “Thank you for mansplaining, but I’m less concerned with alcohol induced dehydration and more concerned with getting to bed at a decent hour.”

Mansplaining

When a man feels compelled to condescendingly explain something to a woman on a topic that any reasonable person could see she knows more about than he does.

"That's not what mansplaining means. Mansplaining is..." he mansplains.

Fansplaining

The act fans of a particular franchise (TV series, book series, sport, etc.) talking down to or about fans that they don't see as "legitimate" fans.

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.

Woman: Hey look there’s the hockey stadium.

Man: Yeah the hockey stadium is where the team plays hockey and you can watch hockey games.

Woman: I know what a hockey stadium is. Thanks for the mansplaining. 🙄
