When laypeople say "revisionist history" they often think that, but the term precedes this modern meaning in academic circles and does not have the same meaning. Somebody who writes about some topic in history from the perspective of women when it has largely only been examined from the perspective of men in prior scholarship is engaged in "revisionist history" but without the connotations of propaganda and poor scholarship. The core problem here, as is often the problem when HN discusses history as a profession, is that few people here actually have engaged with the profession. So basic jargon of the field is misunderstood.
