For those completely unaware, Mansplaining is a combination of two words man and splaining (short for explaining). It means explain (something) to someone, typically a woman, in a condescending manner. It means a man tries to show that he knows more about a subject and assumes that the woman is too stupid enough to know about it. A man could interrupt a woman speaking to explain her, forcefully assuming that he knows more. It is like a compulsive need to correct her, which makes the term "correctile dysfunction" just as appropriate, as mentioned in the viral tweet.
