Mansplaining - the explanation of something by a man, typically to a woman, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing.
If you feel there's mansplaining happening to you, cut them short and speak up. Steamroll ahead, assertively and confidently, without raising your voice pitch. Keep talking and eventually the mansplaining will subside.
Use your hands and expressions to get your point across. Confident body language goes a long way.
Remember, your opinion and knowledge is important. You were hired for your competence.
