a explica (unei femei) cu superioritate masculina


Definition from vice.com:
Rebecca Solnit e femeia care a inventat termenul de „mansplaining" ca să descrie o situație în care un bărbat îi explică ceva unei femei într-o manieră arogantă și lipsită de respect.

Example sentence(s):
  • Cred că femeile pot fi lăsate să-și aleagă singure calea, să creadă ce vor, să judece lucrurile de capul lor (...). Nu simt nevoia să le explic lucruri și, atunci când mă roagă, o fac pentru că le prețuiesc suficient încât să cred că merită efortul, nu pentru că fac ”mansplaining”. - estebine.ro
