Even if she chooses to make her gender part of her branding in a prominent and very-confident way, "whoring" is a poor choice of words - it's a loaded term with connotations of specifically insulting a particular gender for behaving in overly-confident ways. If you'd like to have a web where gender isn't an important distinguishing characteristic by default, it's helpful to avoid sexualized insults.

You are right that I went overboard.

I could potentially point out politely that she is playing the gender card.
