Man-splaining is a combination of the English words "man" and "explaining," which describes a situation where a man condescendingly or paternalistically explains information to a woman, despite the fact that she may be just as competent or even more competent than he is.
The term was coined in 2008 in Rebecca Solnit's essay "Men Explain Things to Me," where the author described her own experiences and the testimonies of other women about such situations.
Man-splaining is often used to describe patriarchal structures in society that allow men to dominate conversations and ignore the knowledge and experiences of women.
