It is and always has been sexist nonsense.

From the article, here's the definition given by which we are expected to believe some sort of value is contained:

In its early incarnation, it had a straightforward definition: when a man condescendingly lectures a woman on the basics of a topic about which he knows very little, under the mistaken assumption that she knows even less.

So how is what plumbing someone was born with relevant to this definition at all? The same situation could just as easily occur with the gender roles reversed or both genders the same. Using someone's genitals as an excuse to dismiss them is wrong no matter which way it goes.
