(151,267 posts)did not have a sexual one in mind at all. Every dramatic film or novel has a climax, or climactic point where all the threads draw together and produce the turn of the story. The word is also used to describe a forest which has reached it's maximum productivity. The concept of a climax forest is well known.
The thing is that when words have multiple meanings, any of them can be used as reference. None of the meanings of climactic have anything whatever to do with climate or weather. None of them. The point here was not any specific meaning of the word climactic, but that it was misspelled when referring to climate. It does derive from the word climax, but not in a sexual sense.
I don't do misogyny. It's not my thing at all, and it never even occured to me. You chose the meaning you wanted to. So did I, and it wasn't the same one you chose. My interest was in the misapplication of the word due to a misspelling. Spelling is not gender-specific. Have a great day.
