Mansplaining

Mansplaining describes the situation when a man explains something to people they have read as feminine without being asked and in a condescending manner. The man who mansplains often ignores the knowledge and expertise of the person in question, as he denies them these skills because of their gender. Mansplaining is therefore an expression of patriarchal, misogynous and sexist communication.
