It’s not so hard. It’s probably best to quote what the author wrote in the comments of her post:
“‘Golden Uterus Complex’ is a slur against women. It‘s not even a real psychiatric term, just slang. It dismisses all women who have real life experience of things men don‘t go through first hand—like child birth or sexism. In short, when guys don‘t have a dog in the fight but they still think they have an important perspective, they whip this baby out to cry foul instead of giving a woman credit for her experience and respecting her opinion.
Maybe it‘s annoying to you, but it‘s legitimate to the women involved.”

Putting these out there as exclusive only to women is absurd. I shared
the experience of child-birth with my wife and have experienced sexism at many points in my career (I work in a female dominated field). The notion
that these things only happen/are experienced by women is just wrong.
What you're arguing for is that certain topics be restricted to a women's only perspective which is about sexist as it gets.
Who cares? The point is not that he's calling women names.
If you want to say that then fine but you should read the rest of what you quoted which makes a different point entirely.
So if he had left out "Golden Uterus Complex" then it would
be ok?
I think the problem is that he could have said that people who feel superiority for their reproductive organs (or whatever) are annoying. The thing is that he seems to say that women who have that problem are annoying, which completely overlooks the problem. What I mean is that it doesn't matter if it's women or men who feel this superiority, so there's no need for specifying gender.
Imagine if instead he said: "I hate black people who steal". Of course he does! But he must also hate white people who steal, in fact, he hates people who steal. There's no need for specifying race.
