Doubt he meant sexual impotence but rather 'not having the power or ability to change or improve a situation' as defined in the Cambridge Dictionary.

how do you know that?

I didn't say I knew that, I said I doubted that. The reason I doubt it is that the word impotent doesn't necessarily refer to sexual power but power in general.

No you didn't, you asked how I knew that. I explained why I doubted he meant that. Is this really worth arguing about?

I did. It's because that's what the word means.
