Mansplain
含义: When a man explains something to a woman in a condescending way, assuming she doesn't already know it.
Mansplaining describes the specific phenomenon of a man over-explaining something to a woman — often something she's more qualified to discuss. It captures a gender dynamic where men assume women lack knowledge. The term became central to feminist discourse in the 2010s.

✗ 错误说法
- Using it for any male explanation (even a helpful one) dilutes its meaning — it should describe condescension, not just explaining把任何男性的解释(即使是善意的)都说成mansplain会稀释这个词的含义——它应该用来描述居高临下的态度,而不仅仅是解释Usarlo para cualquier explicación masculina (incluso una útil) diluye su significado: debería describir condescendencia, no simplemente explicar男性のあらゆる説明(親切なものも含め)に使うと意味が薄れる——上から目線の態度を指す言葉であり、単なる説明すべてに使うべきではない남성의 모든 설명에 사용하면(도움이 되는 설명에도) 의미가 희석된다 — 단순한 설명이 아닌 잘난 체하는 태도를 묘사해야 한다
