Whatever is a slang term meaning "whatever you say" , "I don't care what you say" or "what will be will be". The term is used either to dismiss a previous statement and express indifference or in affirmation of a previous statement as "whatever will be will be".[1] Michael McKenna (2012-11-04), Doris Day - Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera) (w Children's Chorus) - 1964 version, retrieved 2016-04-13
'Whatever' is often a red flag term when I hear or read it, especially during an argument. Not claiming intellectual perfection here, but seems to me, 'whatever' is sometimes used to dismiss key intellectually, uncomfortable, premises within a discussion and debate.
Dismissed premises as opposed to dealt with premises.

DrRNM: Meet lots of women.
(I realize there are plenty of protesters that are men)
