The most misunderstood theory on this planet. Period.
This theory was only meant to be used and understood in an academic context, but I guess some people decided it would be "cool" to use in mainstream discourse (i.e. social media). Thus, the misunderstanding begins.
In all seriousness, for someone to understand this theory, you would need to understand what "critical theory" is first. I am specifically referring to the philosophical theory that Adorno & Horkheimer invented, which is basically a heated critique on mass-produced culture.
If one does not understand the tenets to this theory, then one should not voice their uninformed opinions on said theory.
Of course, perhaps the fault lies more in the people who decided to abuse this term. And in that case, I understand you 100%, but at the same time it's still unfair to dismiss it as BS.

A derogatory term describing a perceived competition among two or more women in public spaces, characterized by the pursuit of negative attention or infamy. Such behavior may manifest through the adoption of controversial, cruel, or unpopular stances on social or political issues, or through actions reflecting dishonesty, manipulation, or unkindness. The term is often used to criticize individuals deemed to exhibit poor character, though its application can carry misogynistic undertones.
