Might be too specific to trope, but maybe Gentlewoman Snarker ? This is a very subtle, lady-like snark, the purpose of which is not as much to hurt as to get the guy to see her point.

Dr. Audrey Lim has been having PTSD issues related to hospital work. Claire, a doctor who works under Lim, has been trying to convince Lim to talk to a therapist, but Lim has been refusing. When a father agrees with his gymnast daughter not to approve a surgery which would result in a Career-Ending Injury, Claire talks to Lim about it. Lim tells her to try and convince the father to be responsible.
