I think simply being male was enough to trigger her hostility.
If she wants to be an effective teacher, if she wants to help people understand her stance, she will need to learn to first ask questions and be certain of her facts before drawing and quartering people. I suspect she simply savors having an agenda and takes pride in her anger.
She could have learned a great deal from you, perhaps even enough to change her currently inflexible posture about men.
Her loss.
P.S. May has drawn me in and captivated me in the first thirty pages of your novel. How I wish I were fierce and wonderful like her! I'm looking forward to going on adventures with her.
