Get the Catsplaining mug.1. The explanation of something by a woman, typically to a man, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing, e.g., Womansplaining.
2. When a woman uses bigoted, illogical rhetoric, or ask questions that she doesn't really want an answer to, to "shut a man down." Usually used so the woman can feel superior to the male she is speaking with.
3. When a woman interprets what a man says, not by the words he is saying, but by what her mind "knows" he is thinking behind the words that he is saying; because she "knows" what his thoughts, motivations, and intentions "really"mean and not what he intended by the words he used to begin with, womansplain. With this ready knowledge of what he "really" means and disregarding what he said, she will then craft what she believes to be an appropriate response.
