mansplainers
Unsolicited male explainers
Mansplainers are men who explain things to women in a condescending way, often assuming ignorance the woman doesn't have.
The term implies the man wouldn't adopt the same patronizing tone with another man: The mansplainers at the conference kept interrupting her to explain her own research.
See mansplain.
