Contradict female intuition (6)
I believe the answer is:
belief
'intuition' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'contradict female' is the wordplay.
'contradict' becomes 'belie' ('belie' can be a synonym of 'contradict').
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'belie'+'f'='BELIEF'
(Other definitions for belief that I've seen before include "Credo" , "Persuasion" , "Faith, doctrine" , "Trust, faith (6)" , "Faith; confidence" .)
