You are talking out of both sides of your mouth. In another comment on this same thread, you say this:

In your original comment you explicitly accuse the OP of operating in bad faith, presumably as a result of "internalized biases" as described above. How does this not add up to an assumption that OP treated the researcher differently because she's a woman? It is exactly what you are implying.
