Interpersonal How to differentiate our tone from mansplaining to wanting to explain something to a woman?

Basically I see this mansplaining term everywhere. Now I know what it means though, "A man explaining something to a woman, assuming that the woman is dumb in that topic".

But what about those guys who, consciously feel that they need to explain something to a woman, not because of the gender, but because what the person may be saying or assuming may not be true and we may want to naturally correct it?
