Mansplaining refers to when a man condescendingly explains something to a woman, assuming she has limited knowledge on the subject just because of her gender. It often involves undermining or dismissing the woman’s expertise and experiences, while asserting a sense of superiority.
Examples:
1. Sarah was discussing her research on climate change at a conference when a male colleague started mansplaining, telling her that she misunderstood the data and simplifying the entire topic.
2. In an online gaming community, Emma shared her strategy for winning a game, but a male player began mansplaining, patronizingly explaining to her that her approach was ineffective and how she should do it instead.
