Womansplaining 

Womansplaining is the repeated, futile attempt by a woman to get a man/group of men to listen to her when she knows more about a subject (often being her own body) instead of talking over her and dismissing her ideas, thoughts and opinions solely based on her gender.

Often incorrectly used by men, in knee-jerk retaliations, to mean a female version of a "mansplainer." The unequal dynamic is similar to that of the word "whitesplainer;" a patronising white person telling (for example)a black person of colour what it's like to be black, and how they should overcome racism.
I tried telling that man that period pain can be excruciating but he loudly talked over me with his opinion until mine just became futile womansplaining.

Womansplaining

When a woman overconfidently explain to a man how he should act in the world, elaborate emotions or behave with other women, without actually knowing much about how men's everyday experience.

Womansplaining involves mostly fields that have been traditionally female, such as social relationships management, emotions, and it often uses basic psychological words to add credibility.

It derives from the central position women's opinions assumed after feminism, and it is stressed by the importance given by media to these.

Womansplaining is more difficult to detect than mansplaining, because many men undergoing womansplaining are self-conscious and they do not protest against this patronizing attitude. These men give great importance to the woman's explanation, trying to learn something they think they cannot figure out themselves, especially when it comes to "how to get women to like them" or "how to be a proper man".
A: I heard her womansplaining to Jake how to ask Maddy out on a date.
B: And what did she say?
A: You know... usual stuff... "You gotta be confident you gotta be sweet" and bla bla...

Womansplaining 

When a woman fakes empathy, and or pretends to be on your side in order to get her point across to you.
Man: I can’t believe it’s legal to be lesbian but illegal to be gay in Kuwait.

Woman: boohoo stop bitching about everything just cause you’re a faggot.

Man: hey you’re being homophobic!

Woman: I’m not homophobic, I’m queer myself, I’m just saying, I know it can be hard for you as a gay man but that doesn’t mean you have to complain all the time. This is a W for women so please let us enjoy it.

Man: Are you womansplaining?

Womansplaining 

Similar to mansplaining, but instead of patronizing dialogue, she feels the need to explain her emotions and/or reason for her stated comment.
Usually happens when a woman feels the need to reconcile after her statement.
Ex. A
Coworker 1 : After John said “how much longer?”, Sally gave a long explanation on all the reasons for the wait instead of just telling him the time.

Coworker 2 : “Oh she was just womansplaining.”

Ex. B
Guy_gamer-1 - “Give me free stuff.”

Girl_gamer - “How many times is this guy gonna ask for free stuff?”

Guy_gamer-2 - “Damn why you say that?”

Girl_gamer - **very long description on how many times the guy_gamer-1 has asked for free stuff and goes on to explain how she was feeling for each of those times**

Girl_gamer - “Now he knows not to do that again.”
