While eating a meal cooked for me by my girlfriend, I asked why she seemed so bitter. She womansplained that she was upset with me for having refused her mother's offer for seconds on her caserole, 2 years earlier.

Explaining how a particular facet of life makes women victims at the fault of men.
Someone womansplaining: My boyfriend was too lazy to wash up so I had to do it. This is another example of how men are systemically oppressing women.

Not to be confused with a feminine version mansplaining. What middle aged (often homophobic) women do to their kids.
“My mom told me that people are gay because they’re confused or following a trend.”
“No way- tell her to stop womansplaining.”
When a person does not explaining anything at all but expects everyone to just "know" what they wanted
Dude: She got pissed at me because I didn't do something, but she never even told me I was supposed to do it. How was I suppose to know?
Other dude: Womansplaining man, you should have just known
Wokely highlighting obvious aspects of things everyone has considered under the assumption a man couldn't ever have considered or understand structural inequalities.
Her: "Mansplaining is actually when a man condescendingly explains things to a woman, usually because on an unconscious level they consider them less intelligent, although they don't know that they hold these beliefs, as they have been reinforced by wider cultural factors"
Me: "Yes I know, Karen, I just used it in a sentence, stop Womansplaining at me"

The act of a woman actively avoiding a question by making an attempt to divert the conversation to a new topic.
Man: Why do you dislike Donald Trump?
Woman: why do you think that Hillary Clinton is an unsuitable president?
The woman here clearly can't think of a reason to dislike Donald Trump and is trying to divert the conversation towards a subject that she thinks the man wont have an answer for or now anything about thus enacting the fine art of womansplaining

Womansplaining: act of resorting to lies and deceit or other dishonest measures in a desperate attempt to regain control of a situation. Denying facts over feelings.
"Men are stronger physically than women due to genetics"
Womansplaining: "No women are catching up to men and have always been equal in every aspect often times even more so."
