No surprise. Spend some time on a physics forum and you'll quickly notice that it is very competitive macho world.
I was hanging around this place last week:

And to this thrown at me (Elle H.C.) :
"Well, hope you get run over and die a painful death”
“you can retcon those months in intensive care as your healthcare costs put you in penury whilst you’re in agony”
“May you live long in agony!”
Go figure.

You also may want to check this article on harassments within Physics community, goes to show that it isn't uncommon:

"What they found was shocking:
• That more than 82% of all respondents (including men, women, people of color, and LGBTQ-identifying individuals) had reported hearing sexist remarks from someone that they worked with, with a full 44% reporting hearing it from their advisor.
• That 57% reported being personally, verbally harassed (and 9% physically harassed) because of their gender.
• That 24% of all respondents reported feeling unsafe in their workplace because of their gender.
• And of that 24%, more than 75% of those also reported skipping conferences, seminars or other opportunities for professional development because of a pattern of harassment and a culture that accepts it as part of the norm."
