(Of a man) To explain something to a woman in a manner regarded as [condescending] or patronizing. What sets mansplaining apart from a man simply explaining something or giving an opinion is that the mansplainer typically has less knowledge of the topic than the party he is explaining it to, but has assumed that because she is female she cannot comprehend the topic as well as a man could. Exampes of what is NOT mansplaining: 1) A man explaining how to use a power tool to a woman who needs help using it. 2) A man expressing an opinion on a subjective topic or engaging in a debate with a woman about a topic about which they have similar levels of knowledge Examples of what IS manplaining: 1) A man who has no formal knowledge of automobile repairs explaining to his female mechanic how an engine works. 2) A man who has never studied [gynecology] [explaining to a woman] how she should feel when she is on her period.
