A fancy name for "nagging."
Apparently, everything I've ever believed is wrong, and everything I ever feel or think is and will be as well, at least according to the womansplaining my current wife has been doing for the past 2 hours

When a person is giving voice to an opinion or explaining something, all the while constantly interjecting excuses and self belittling nonsense.
Person 1: "I am no expert of course, but wasn't there once... or maybe twice, I'm not sure, this special campaign where it was possible to somehow exchange your old... or new I gue..."

Person 2: "Stop womansplaining and just get to the point already!"

Explaining how a particular facet of life makes women victims at the fault of men.
Someone womansplaining: My boyfriend was too lazy to wash up so I had to do it. This is another example of how men are systemically oppressing women.

When a person does not explaining anything at all but expects everyone to just "know" what they wanted
Dude: She got pissed at me because I didn't do something, but she never even told me I was supposed to do it. How was I suppose to know?
Other dude: Womansplaining man, you should have just known

Not to be confused with a feminine version mansplaining. What middle aged (often homophobic) women do to their kids.
“My mom told me that people are gay because they’re confused or following a trend.”
“No way- tell her to stop womansplaining.”

Wokely highlighting obvious aspects of things everyone has considered under the assumption a man couldn't ever have considered or understand structural inequalities.
Her: "Mansplaining is actually when a man condescendingly explains things to a woman, usually because on an unconscious level they consider them less intelligent, although they don't know that they hold these beliefs, as they have been reinforced by wider cultural factors"

Me: "Yes I know, Karen, I just used it in a sentence, stop Womansplaining at me"

The act of a woman actively avoiding a question by making an attempt to divert the conversation to a new topic.
Man: Why do you dislike Donald Trump?
Woman: why do you think that Hillary Clinton is an unsuitable president?

The woman here clearly can't think of a reason to dislike Donald Trump and is trying to divert the conversation towards a subject that she thinks the man wont have an answer for or now anything about thus enacting the fine art of womansplaining
