Definition from Fundéu:
Explicar en tono paternalista

Example sentence(s):
  • Según el diccionario de Oxford, la palabra mansplain es un término informal que significa (dicho de un hombre) ‘explicar (algo) a alguien, normalmente una mujer, de forma condescendiente’. El neologismo machoexplicación (de macho y explicación), que tiene ya cierto uso y comparte el mismo carácter informal del original inglés, es una alternativa que recoge adecuadamente su significado y que permite además la creación de otras voces de la misma familia léxica, como el sustantivo machoexplicador o el verbo machoexplicar. Otra variante que también se consideraría válida es machiexplicación. - Fundéu
