Missunderstanding

When a woman rejects information (especially from a man) based on the tone in which it is delivered. Related to mansplaining.
Let's get our egos out of the way of sharing accurate information: I'll stop mansplaining if you stop missunderstanding.

Even if what you're saying is correct, I'm still entitled to my missunderstanding.
