To argue from ignorance and substitute hyper emotionality and/or emotional blackmail for logic and fact.

The chick next femsplained to me the sexism inherent in manual weeding; she called me a member of the patriarchy, and said she did not feel safe around me because I was doing somewhat manly work and had a sharp tool (phallus) in my hand.

Femsplaining

När en övertygad Fi aktivist, nedlåtande försöker förklara för omgivningen att ex. inkvotering av kvinnor på attraktiva höga tjänster, är bättre för samhället än att anställa den bäst kvalificerade.

Hörde Kerstin köra en Femsplaining igår. Hon berättade att företag skulle bli lönsammare om alla styrelsemedlemmar var kvinnor.

fiatsplain

A portmanteau of the words “fiat” and “explain”, where a fiat proponent (typically a nocoiner) explains economic principles to Bitcoiners in a condescending way, without regard to the Bitcoiner being more experienced with the subject in the first place.

The worst thing about finance twitter is how they keep trying to fiatsplain Keynesian Economics to us. Sometimes I wonder if nocoiners understand that the modern economy was designed to systemically oppress consumers.

Femsplaining

The explanation of something by someone who identifies as Female, typically to a sexist man (or someone who doesn't identify as Female), in a manner Supposedly regarded as condescending or patronizing. But is really just because they would rather not hear from anyone who identifies as Female (or doesn't Pass as Female or androgynous in their eyes)

Femsplaining isn't really a Thing, just another toxic tactic to both Gaslight and manipulate other's & situations, especially when Wrong in an Argument or misinformed/not informed about a thing in Question. But doesn't want to be Wrong.

Femsplaining also cannot exist without the brother phrase "Mansplaining", which has the Exact same Definition.

"Your response is classic femsplaining"
"Ugh, _____ isn't _____ it's _____! Quit Femsplaining, you're wrong and stupid"
