	Because she's "only" a woman
	and she's "arguing" with men.

	But then, I need not elaborate, since this concept of the relative
worthlessness of women's conceptualization in the minds of (typical) men
has been (re)hashed recently in this forum.

	"When you can't discredit your opponent's logic
	attack your opponent directly" is the concept
	behind the discreditation of women's thoughts.
