2π 2π
When a female qualifies a confident response for the sole purpose of protecting the male ego.
Example 1: Corporate Environment
Male: I have a great idea. I can't believe we've never done this before.
Woman (womansplaining): I think we discussed something kind of similar about a year ago. I'm not sure I remember exactly what we decided, but maybe there were some problems with that idea and the local laws? I can see if I can find emails about it if you would like. (Translation: You presented the same bad idea last year and nothing has changed.)
Example 2: Home Environment
Man: Amazon doesn't do same day delivery in our area.
Woman: Sure they do.
Man: I know they do some places, but not in our area yet.
Woman (womansplaining): Maybe we should google it. I thought our neighbor mentioned using their same day delivery, but maybe I misunderstood what she was saying. Or maybe it's recently changed? (Translation: I'm 100% sure because my friend next door uses it ALL THE TIME.)

Womansplaining is the repeated, futile attempt by a woman to get a man/group of men to listen to her when she knows more about a subject (often being her own body) instead of talking over her and dismissing her ideas, thoughts and opinions solely based on her gender.
Often incorrectly used by men, in knee-jerk retaliations, to mean a female version of a "mansplainer." The unequal dynamic is similar to that of the word "whitesplainer;" a patronising white person telling (for example)a black person of colour what it's like to be black, and how they should overcome racism.
I tried telling that man that period pain can be excruciating but he loudly talked over me with his opinion until mine just became futile womansplaining.

Cindy, clearly and vehemently irritated by my lack of interest, angrily proceeded to womansplain to me the difference between her close friends, good friends, friends, coworkers, acquaintances and frenemies.
the opposite of mansplaining when a woman tries to belittle or shut down a man by gender shaming she is thus womansplaining
feminist: You're opinion doesnt matter because you're a male.
belittled male: Shut up you're womansplaining!
