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.”

Womansplaining

the explanation of something by a woman, typically to a man, in a manner that completely derives from the topic at hand. Often substantiated with information that has nothing to do with the current explanation, to the point where neither party is sure of what the original topic of conversation was.

plural: womansplainers
noun: womansplaining
"You know Sean, by the time we were done arguing, neither of us even knew what the whole debacle was about."

Womansplaining

A woman's habit of rationalizing the most stupid and illogical things ad nauseum in order to appear smart or empathetic. Also used to explain away their own bullshit by deflecting it and making it seem like there's something wrong with you
