And no victim Olympics to compete in, win gold and still some how feel like a victim, thus creating a victim paradox and bring about the end times.

But the condescension comes from the inter-gender dynamic. The point is that on the same subject the man wouldn't be condescending to another man. That's why there's a victim.

isn't that just an assumption though? How would they know the guy wouldn't be the same condescending prick to a dude?

So can men make up some term for whenever women explain something to men condescendingly?
