Because people are desperate to feel superior, for some reason it's even more intense than normal with anything involving women or sex - I guess it makes people feel like expert sex havers if they can one up someone on female sex organ words?

Like I get correcting people if the only, or most common, use of a word is different enough from how they are using it it will likely cause real confusion. Doing it with tact is a little more difficult. However, when you are correcting someone for a very common use of a word, and you are in a casual setting, I can't help but think you want to prove some point of superiority.
