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”.

A portmanteau of woman and complain. Unlike traditional complaining, when one womplains, the objective is not to state a specific grievance as much as it is to make the listener aware that one is feeling lousy about a situation or generally unsatisfied with the other person. It is not possible to defuse the situation until the speaker has stated everything they believe to be wrong about the topic they are womplaining about.
Common attributes include bringing up the past, accusations of not being understood, and refusal to elaborate when requested. Topics are usually ones which can be - and perhaps have been - discussed during normal conversation, but whose previous outcome was not satisfactory to the womplainer.
Not to be confused with an argument, in which both parties are permitted to state grievances and offer counterarguments.

As soon as I got home last night my wife started womplaining about me getting home late.
Womplainer: You never take me anywhere nice.
Target: I had no idea, you've never said anything.
Womplainer: Don't interrupt! Let me finish womplaining!

A complaint or argument from a woman, typically to a man, in an incessant or rude manner. Stemming from a prejudice against men or a desire to cause drama.
