He'd NEVER have asked a man, or tried to bully a guy off the bench, ya know?

How do you know? Maybe he's just an ass and would be to anyone. Or anyone he perceives as unable to kick his ass.
Some people are just rude, period. Or, they've had bad experience that have turned them into asses making everyone else have a bad experience.
But, usually my standard reply has to do with something they lack. Plus, I like point out how bitchy and childish people are. Things like, "well sheesh, ya didn't need to be such a whiny little bitch about it, just cuz you can't carry your weights all the way over to the other bench" etc. People tend to not like that, though. Truth hurts I guess.
I've never been somewhere in a gym where someone has treated me badly because i'm a woman. I've been plenty of places where people are just generally rude buttholes to everyone around them though. *shrug*
edit:
Now that i think about it though, I don't tend to look like a target. I'm usually the person people think is a total bitch who's royally pissed, or just really concentrating. Maybe a woman who tends to be more .... passive seeming ... catches more flack from people because they think they can get away with it. hmmm...
