What does Mansplaining mean? [on hold]












-2














I'm trying to prepare myself to going in international social space that I encountered to this video: social Feminist "Mansplaining" Video Goes Wrong
and I can't understand what is Mansplaining term!

Can you give me a good scenario or expressive definition ?


Thanks.



More info added



When I google mansplain I will get:(of a man) explain (something) to someone, typically a woman, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing.



Or in here one example provided: I once had a friend mansplain to my roommate how to ~correctly~ pronounce her own name bc he thought she was doing it wrong

    Hi Naser. We have policies in place to prevent the proliferation of questions which are likely to have a freely available and adequate answer elsewhere, so we can be of real help. If you can consult a dictionary definition and tell us why it confuses you or explain any doubts you have regarding it, we would probably be willing to help, but in the question's present state we can't really be sure of how to help you understand the word much better than a dictionary can.
