  Lots of people going for the downvote button but still no better word for the concept has come up.

  Which is a shame. I was hoping to find a word where you could use the meaning without the topic suddenly changing to sexism.

    There genuinely isn’t a word, beyond maybe being patronizing

    At least not in common English

        No… Unless you start using the word and it catches on. Which is easier to do than it sounds, but the meaning tends to drift by the time you hear it in the wild
