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.

When a man speaks condescendingly to a woman on a matter he believes her to be ignorant of, when in fact his own knowledge of the subject is materially incomplete. The possibility that she may know more about the subject than he does is one that the mansplainer cannot fathom.

Note that simple a misunderstanding, that occurs without derogatory stereotyping or condescension, is not "mansplaining," regardless of the gender of the participants in the conversation.

A hate speech slur often used by a woman who is losing an argument in an attempt to invalidate a man's position by bashing his gender. The term was invented by feminists who realized they had no ability to use logic, facts, and reason, and therefore needed a buzzword to shame men into silence. The feminists claim the word means that a man is explaining something in a condescending way, but that's only a false cover. The English language already has terms for that such as "to patronize." "Mansplain" is generally used to belittle a man based on his sex when a feminist is incapable of countering his argument and her feelings are hurt.

Feminist: Oh, my God, stop mansplaining to me.

Mansplaining is basically intellectual dishonesty. Instead of listening and considering the arguments of opposing views, even if you then refute them, you simply brush off any opposing views as inherently wrong because a man said it.
Feminist: Men gets paid 1 dollar while a woman gets 73 cents, oh the patriarchy...
Rational Person: Well, the statistic that you stated didn't account for the kinds of jobs that men usually take, the amount of time they work in the shift, education and more. If you managed to remove all those factors, both men and women get basically the same amount.
Retarded Feminist: Shut the fuck up you sexist mansplaining pig!!!!
