I think there are two issues. 
List managers will indeed occasionally get blasted just because they are
'available' (on the net) and 'in charge' (of a list). Either men or women
cause problems here. These people have been on the list awhile, but 
develop a sense of entitlement.

The other sorts are more often men, who go 'hunting' to cause trouble on 
lists.

I am surely no man-hostile person (refuse to bounce them off 
my list) but this is what I've experienced. I have found men helpful 
in dealing with 'problem men' - 'problem women' are another matter.
