Woman: I’m not planning on giving birth naturally. There’s too much to risk.
Man: Actually, natural births have a higher change of survival for the baby and mother.
The woman has already given birth twice. She knows what she’s talking about, while the man obviously does not. Therefore, he was mansplaining.

When there is a woman who feels like she is being belittled from a condescending male in a social situation which may be true or could also be because of own personal insecurities/flaws, the term can also be just as belittling and condescending depending on how it is used and so both male and woman (usually both are associated with a certain political stance) begin to argue over which person is more hypocritical. Mansplaining can sometimes be a destructive and derogatory term that is usually associated with the political feminist ideology which fights for equality but has over the years been a way for specific women to generalize towards a male who doesn't agree with that woman's opinion and can use it as an excuse to get what they want, this only goes for certain women who are manipulative; not all woman. Manipulative males do this as well to women but it is usually associated with a different term. When you have both a manipulative male and manipulative woman together, it usually results in a heated argument.

Mansplaining sometimes occurs when a female is looking to learn something or work in a male-dominated field (mechanics, engineering, welding, gaming, etc). Upon asking a question or undergoing training, snide comments or patronizing explanations will ensue. Instead of being treated with respect like a fellow human being, female in question is assumed to be inept, incapable, and intellectually on par with a curious 3 year old. While explaining, male must avoid eye contact, mumble incoherently (panic at female presence) or yell angrily (girls don’t belong in X field). Important: man doing the mansplaining must ONLY do it to females.
when talking to a woman, a mansplainer is always better and smarter than her, no matter the experience or education difference.
