Your Definition

What a man does when he assumes that most of the women he talks to need to hear his [explanations]. The problem is not the explanation itself but the underlying and often unconscious belief in inequality, the systematic assumption that women are not very intelligent, [knowledgeable] or competent. Mansplaining is always talking down, a form of condescension. It can be done with contempt and scorn or with benevolence and generosity, the way a father may explain something to a child.

Someone is mansplaining if they:
–When a man who knows little about something explains it to a woman who knows a lot about it, like when a lawyer attempts to explain how the brain works to a female neurosurgeon.

– When a man doesn’t attempt to find out how much a woman knows about something before explaining it to her.

– When a man ignores the fact that the woman is competent in her own right, and has an opinion worthy of [consideration]

– When he interrupts a woman to continue explaining himself to her

-When he attempts to tell her what she thinks, what she feels some, or why she behaves a certain way.
-When the [explanations] weren't asked for, the man just assumes the woman needs to hear them.
