womplaining 

Not to be confused with Womsplaning or Femsplaning (Which is just Mansplaning from a woman’s perspective)...

Womplaning is when a woman complains online and expects only validation as a response instead of a proposed solution.

If a solution is proposed, it will be responded to with an accusation of Mansplaning, whether or not the responder is a man.
Woman: Do men know how many times we rewrite tweets to make SURE it doesn't look like we're asking for advice?

Responder: Um, are you asking for advice on how to solve that problem?

Woman: No! Not interested in your Mansplaning!

Responder: Then, you want an answer to the question do men know how many times you rewrite tweets to make SURE it doesn't look like you’re asking for advice?

Woman: No asshole, I’m just complaining.

Responder: You mean “Womplaining”.
