It has nothing to do with her gender. Like most rightwing windbags, Malkin basically spits in the face of everyone she disagrees with, but cries foul at the slightest disagreement with her lunatic rantings.

By the way, she's only a wrecking ball if the target is vulnerable to absurd half-truths concocted by an alarmingly average intellect.

My favorite Malkin-ism will always remain her argument that the US government rightly rounded up Japanese-Americans and put them in concentration camps. She argues this was a valid response to the US interception of what came to be called the "MAGIC cables" -- Japanese espionage cables read by US codebreakers. In the cables, the Japanese secret service instructed Japanese agents in the US to recruit people in America to spy on US military/industrial activity.

So, Michelle say, naturally we need to round up the Japanese! But what Michelle conveniently forgets to mention is, the MAGIC cables specifically exclude Japanese in America from recruitment, as they would be too easy to uncover as spies.

So, using Michelle's rationale, everyone in the US except the Japanese should have been put in concentration camps. So much for your "wrecking ball."

And yes, she's a big baby. The political satire blog sadlyno.com brilliantly satirizes her with on this count -- worth a read.
