I mostly agree with you. Women were the first ones to make a public fuss about both sexism and misogyny in FOSS, as well as general asshattedness. And to get attacked for saying anything. If we were to judge by the quantities of flameage, it would look like FOSS is 90% hostile jerks. I'm guessing it's really a minority, but they sure are noisy.
