While you're right about it not being worse, you're not getting why it's upsetting people that they are using a term created for something that happens to WOMEN in a patriarchal society, part of women's oppression, is being used for men.

If the OP had said "I'm sick and tired of them being treated like they are somehow immature or flawed because they've had many sex partners in the past/being treated like they can't be trusted/need to be in a monogamous relationship to prove their worth" no one would have flipped. It's the equating it to what happens to women that people are upset about
