Set aside the social baggage and cloying aspects of the terminology. If this is meaningful why can't its nature be meaningfully and specifically addressed in discussion, or be meditated upon constructively?

Depersonalize it and the question loses no weight. I agree that questions are as important as answers; yet, answers are often found in well-posed questions.
