femskirting 

When a woman responds to man in a debate or discussion, but instead of dealing with the man's argument directly she avoids or skirts around the issue by incorrectly claiming that he is 'mansplaining' (thus nullifying the man's perspective and shutting down the discussion).

Femskirting can be used as a pejorative, much like mansplaining.

Man: Taxes aren't that high in our country.
Woman: Mansplainer!
Man: My comment has nothing to do with biological sex and/or gender. Stop femskirting the issue.

We were discussing capitalism and I pointed out some of its advantages when she told me I was mansplaining. It's tough to have a conversation with a feminist these days without them femgendering everything.
