The level of disagreement I have for this is too high to handle. While they don't get CORRECT punishment, they do get it. In my opinion, any male along these lines deserves to have his penis chopped off with a dull axe.
As for Nakidno, I am aware that some insults cross the border into harassment. But it's happen towards male vs male as well, not just male vs female. Mainly because men don't take it seriously. I'm not saying women do, but in a general sense, I'm sure you can agree with me that it does, otherwise this would not be happening in the first place. I, for one, have had opponents who had spewed some rancid statements, but I didn't take it seriously and if it went TOO far, I had reported them. So I have to say it's fair in the gaming world when it comes down to gender bias in insults. I understand the difference between insults and harassment. I'd just hate to see this "power for females" cause a player to get banned for saying something like "Get back in the kitchen" when it's equally offensive saying to a male, "Grow some balls". I just hope 343 sees the difference and doesn't go on an absurd banning spree.
TL;DR: There is a difference between insults and harassment. But I don't want to see people getting banned for the simplest things said. But it's nice to see that they are trying to better the community.
http://fatuglyorslutty.com/ is a perfect example of harassment that I do NOT condone at all. I am for this if these are the reported examples.
