If she felt in physical danger when in reality she very much wasn't, then yes, that's delusional, almost by definition.

She is delusional, because most women do not feel _unsafe_ being at a conference. Even where most attendees are men.
Fearing for your physical safety, when the joke the guy made was not addressed at her, was not about females, is delusional.
When a woman in our field says "I felt this way" we say "No no, she's delusional, therapy is in order." Instead of asking why and trying to understand what led to these feelings. This sort of behaviour doesn't help us become more inclusive.
