The thing I dislike about your argument is that the women in your hypothetical is not a powerless victim who doesn't stand a chance. Imagine if every athlete, musician, entrepreneur, stopped and quit the first time they failed or were told they weren't good enough.

Should anyone be treated in the way you describe? No. But even if this DID happen you give far to much power to the aggressor when this women seems every bit capable to say "No fuck you, I'm forking this project and its going to have a better outcome".
