Presumption on your part - that the event existed and/or focused on a women-only audience doesn't bother me in the least, and had nothing to do with my point.

Filling an argument with insults and bombastic nonsense bothers me a lot, regardless of what the topic is (in fact, it is maybe the thing I post about most).  Mr. Ward could have made his argument in a much more concise, civil way.  He needn't have degenerated into name-calling.  Fighting offensive behavior with offensive behavior doesn't move the needle.
