I actually re-watched it to listen in context that bit about empowerment. Wasn't her point that when you climb in a team of two women, it necessarily means if you fail to lead something you have to rely on your partner, another woman, to do it instead, and that in itself is empowering? OK, its easy to bash the slightly pyscho-analytic terminology, but the point actually seems quite a good one and fits with why some women climbers seem to get a lot out of climbing with other women.
Otherwise, and not aimed at you Jon, they speak like American women of their age, class and region do. Americans speak in a different way to 'us' and it sometimes seems funny because our cultural context is different, hence the piss taking, but it does seem odd that there is more of it when it is women speaking. I find when American climbers like Honnold, Caldwell and others speak and putt "super-" as a prefix to everything, funny/annoying but they don't seem to get made fun of so much.
