Woman-Plaining

The act of a woman excessively whining, complaining, or making issues out of seemingly very minor things and raising matters which are otherwise non-issues, often times from a privileged or entitled female point of view under the dsiguise or feminism. The issues complained about typically serve no real cause other than inflating the individual woman's sense of self-importance while insulting or complaining about men.
