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.
Bev wouldn't quit Woman-Plaining about how the grocery store clerk refused to fill her bags to the top because she's a petite female.

Sue chose to take a camping trip with all the guys then Woman-plained the entire trip about the lack of restrooms and silverware.

Womanplaining

A word that literally means a woman complaining and it is a retaliation of the word "mansplaining". Third-wave feminists complain about how men explain and form the word mansplaining and so I call this womanplaining and it's a satire of mansplaining.

Womansplaining 

The act of opposing a logical, factual discussion or explanation by accusing the opposition of mansplaining and/or being sexist or misogynist and therefore their opinion is uneducated, thereby devaluing the argument through character attacks in lieu of an actual counter argument.
Commonly used alongside accusations of racism/transphobia or any other baseless character attack, and the claim an opinion is invalid on the basis of the speakers gender.
This is primarily used as a tactic by militant feminists as a shield of false righteousness against valid criticism.
