I'm curious why you use "scoffing" when The Fine Article simply says "suggested" to describe the manner of her response. What, in her two-sentence account of this experience, suggests she was overtly dismissive of his efforts?

Overt is strong, but it does seem dismissive. And the fact that it's listed in her experiences of having to deal with sexism makes it clear how the interaction was perceived.
