Dudesplaining 

Dudesplaining is when men explain something like a Dude. It’s like Mansplaining but instead of being dumbed down, it’s more of using commonly known examples to explain something. This can be very helpful for those who need things to be rephrased in another way.
Yeah, he pretty much did some Dudesplaining and I understand it way better now.
