I think part of the reason for that reaction is that that sort of sexism is a prevailing thing in many fandoms and people just get fed up and angry. I know I get into a good rage about certain things sometimes.
Though in general, I do tend to favor a bit of reasoned conversation. Hostility isn't always helpful, if justified.
