mansplaining

Mansplaining is a term used to describe the condescending manner in which a man explains something to a woman, typically under the assumption that she is uninformed. Originating from discussions on LiveJournal and gaining traction through various internet platforms, it encapsulates themes of sexism and privilege in communication, specifically in the context of gender dynamics. Notable cultural references include misunderstandings in feminist discourse and broader socio-political discussions throughout the 2010s.
