I didn't have a good answer to the facts he presented , so I accused him of "mansplaining". I hypocritically said I wanted him to treat me equally with men, but I can't stand how men talk with each other so I told him he was "mansplaining". I claim I believe in equality and understanding, but the fact that men learned as kids that they have to over explain is just irritating so to get him to shut up i accused him of "mansplaining".

A term a woman uses when she feels that she is losing an argument to a man and takes the cowardly route of the victim card.
Her: What, those girl-power memes I post every day are a way of my compensating for the lack of confidence I have in myself? Why don't you shut up and quit man-splaining it to me?

A word that sexist women use to shame a man when they have projected their misandry against men onto him after he offers them some useful advice or information without even taking his or her gender into consideration.
Women posts on Facebook: "I'm looking for research on why there is widespread gluten intolerance in North America and not so much in Europe".
Man responds: "I've heard that it is because the bread is commonly fermented in Europe and commonly unfermented in North America. Also, I know a great bakery where you can buy fermented bread..."
Women responds: "I DIDN'T FUCKING ASK YOU FOR ADVICE!!! STOP FUCKING MANSPLAINING TO ME!!! WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS ALSO SIMILAR TO WHITESPLAINING!!!"
Man thinks "wtf?"

When someone reexplains something in the same way it was just explained or explains something that the other person obviously understands.
Example 1:
Person 1: "What's mansplaining? Is it when a man explains something to a woman in a patronizing way?"
Person 2: "hmmm... How can I explain this to you in a way you'll get it? Mansplaining is when a man explains something to a women in a condescending way"
Example 2:
Person 1: "In April, Jeff Sessions announced a “zero-tolerance” policy regarding migrant families, which led to the separation of thousands of children from their parents. Trump reversed the order in June due to public outrage"
Person 2 (the mansplainer): "Yeah but it was actually the Trump administration who started child separation in the first place and only reversed it later.
Person 1: "Yeah, I just said that."

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.
