I mean they're dunking on it because it's facially wrong enough that you can enforce a boundary against so-woke-you-went-round-the-bend without scoring one for the Jameses Lindsay.

I think it is good to safeguard against Bad Wokism, and by and large the dunking has stayed well on the side of "this is a factually silly claim" as opposed to "words can't infantalize women" which arguably is a victory of Good Wokism.
I would also like to note this has all the hallmarks of the things that are supposed to be scary about the reign of the wokies: a seemingly arbitrary change in the rules that deems your past conduct unacceptable without regard for your intent. And the end result is conversation.
And fore most people that should be your threat model of Bad Wokism: annoying conversations, possibly a thread or even a whole damn mandatory seminar.
Worse things definitely happen and they should be addressed as they do.
* for most people. This isn't golf.
