Definition from ThinkGender.eu:
Situace, kdy „muž ženě povýšeně vysvětluje něco, co sama zná líp.“

Example sentence(s):

Lyman Abbott, protestantský teolog, ve své stati vysvětluje, proč ženy nechtějí volební právo: „Myslím, že žena cítí, i když si to možná neuvědomuje, jak otázka volebního práva není ryze politická, ale prostupuje všechny sféry společnosti – domov, církev, průmysl, stát, sociální strukturu. A ke změnám v těchto oblastech se ženy staví povětšinou s tichou opozicí. A za tyto tiché ženy, jejichž hlasy nejsou slyšet na jednáních, […] za ně já mluvím.“ - ThinkGender.eu
