I know why the term came to be. I have made that abundantly clear.

And yet you are clearly not demonstrating an understanding of it. It has nothing to do with
making a good point


And the fact that you continue to talk about it in reference to a dialog, continues to mean that you aren't really appreciating how the term is useful. Because it's not just someone being treated with condescension, because that happens to everyone. It's not labeling another person in an active conversation to shut them up. It's simply labeling a phenomenon that needs to be discussed.

We can call it 'condescension', but that doesn't cover it. We can call it 'sexist condescension' but it still doesn't quite cover it, as it is primarily a woman's issue.

Your dislike of the term comes primarily from people who misuse it.
