Gin's journal is her space. She has very clear rules on how to behave in her space prominently posted in her user info. There are certain topics and arguments that have been done to death and she refuses to debate them in her space. You chose to enter her space, ignore her rules, and pick precisely the topics she will not debate on her time.

Respect must be earned. If I entered into someone's home and repeatedly violated the rules of the house, I would expect to be kicked out on my ear, as you were. She asked you repeatedly in your conversation to stop repeating ideas she found offensive (like the idea that you as a man had an equal or better right to define feminism and sexism as a woman has, an idea which is patently ridiculous -- members of the oppressing group, no matter how sympathetic to a cause, do not get to define the problems of the oppressed group-- for example a straight person cannot define the problems of the gay community), yet you continued to in her space to attempt to sanitize her language and her opinions to something you found more acceptable in a feminist, after she told you three times to leave and not comment anymore.

Then you said, in so many words "fuck you". This is the moral equivalent of standing in her living room and shouting at her after she has opened the door and asked you to leave repeated. That does not deserve respect,and anything she said after that point was clearly deserved.
