When feminists try to explain that their always right without letting the man speak. When feminists tries to prove a point with no evidence.

When a feminist decides to make up some bullsh*t thing men do and then tries to explain it as if it's a real thing.

Example 1: Corporate Environment
Male: I have a great idea. I can't believe we've never done this before.
Woman (womansplaining): I think we discussed something kind of similar about a year ago. I'm not sure I remember exactly what we decided, but maybe there were some problems with that idea and the local laws? I can see if I can find emails about it if you would like. (Translation: You presented the same bad idea last year and nothing has changed.)
Example 2: Home Environment
Man: Amazon doesn't do same day delivery in our area.
Woman: Sure they do.
Man: I know they do some places, but not in our area yet.
Woman (womansplaining): Maybe we should google it. I thought our neighbor mentioned using their same day delivery, but maybe I misunderstood what she was saying. Or maybe it's recently changed? (Translation: I'm 100% sure because my friend next door uses it ALL THE TIME.)

womanaplaining is a when you have to explain something obvious that a grown adult should know but doesn't because someone else has always done it for them their whole life.
woman1: I had to explain to a grown man how to boil pasta because he'd never had to feed himself before. never thought i'd find myself womansplaining something so basic!
woman2: did he try to mansplain thermodynamics to you while you're at it?

A word invented by wah-wah MRAs who use the word feminazi, bitch, etc. because their inchoate rage has no logic behind it.
The feminazi was womansplaining to me that just because I don't have a uterus, a gf or a sister, I shouldn't legislate healthcare options for it. Duh! I had a mom.

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.
