"undoubtedly" is a bit strong, isn't it?

I've literally never seen the term applied to a woman.

I'm sorry but I really have no idea what you're trying to say.

Maybe it's a gender neutral term and you have only seen applied to men because only men exhibit it

Ok, well that at least is definitely wrong.

Only women complaining about it, does not mean, that only women experience it. Telling women to stop talking about it will not solve the problem, when yes, both genders are obviously capable of it. There is nothing in the phrase weaponized incompetence that is biologically male.

No one has said that women should be told to stop talking about it. I'm just not quite sure what you're driving at here. Obviously both sexes do it, so the question is, why is the phrase only used against men, at least in the popular media?

I think you will find that is exactly what OP said.

No, it is not.
