When a man (not all men, so don’t hate) has some sort of insecurity which makes him want to be better than a woman in every situation so he explains simple things to women for a false sense of superiority. Usually the things they explain are things the women already know. There are cases where the man does not know the woman’s knowledge and tries to help her. If this happens, just apologize and say you weren’t aware of their knowledge. (There are feminists who use this term to degrade men, and at that point, they are not being a feminist, but a bad person)
I can’t believe he just mansplained how to pronounce my name properly.
How was work? I had several concepts I know already mansplained to me, but it was fine
Mansplaining is so annoying! Yes, I do know how to make coffee. I’m a barista!

Get the Mansplainingmug. A feeble attempt for Women to again make Men aware how rude it is to explain to them their own job/skills/capabilities. Feeble as men prefer to maintain gender inequality because it benefits them to ignore their horrible behaviour and continue to dominate and control for the sake of their insecurities. It I am much easier to be angry and blame women for wanting to be treated equally than to learn how to treat them with respect and decency.
She said I was mansplaining when allI was doing was giving her advice on how to handle a situation in her job.

Get the Mansplainingmug. It's when a Man speaks to someone, particularly to a female who has less knowledge on the subject matter, but the other person being illogical and egoistic disregards the entire conversation and accuses him of talking to her in a rather condescending tone( which is generally not true).
Man: Hey! Man how have you been?
Other: I am part of an Alphabet gang and you will refer to me as Zir/Zer.
Man: But according to biology, there are two sexes.
Other:Stop Mansplaining.

Get the Mansplainingmug. The act of a man explaining something he may not really know to a woman who does, and the assumption behind it that knowledge is somehow inherent in the male condition, paralleling a void of knowledge waiting to be filled in the female condition.
