1	Modsplaining Sometimes he is. But some guys do it to women specifically because, well, (a) they're sexist and subconsciously do think women don't know things and (b) they're trying to flirt, by showing off, by trying to sound clever, only it's backfiring. That's the style that I think gets called mansplaining. I actually have a boss who over-explains EVERYTHING, to EVERYONE, and he's a man, and it's annoying, but none of us call it "mansplaining" because he literally does it to everyone.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
