I'd say that the men who accuse every female poster of really being a man are frustrated and insecure. That is, they've been looking all their lives for a woman who is into the same thing they're into, and have always come away empty-handed. So, rather than acknowledging that they may be going about it poorly, or that broaching the topic is a more difficult thing than they are willing to undertake in real life, they instead convince themselves that the reason they feel so alone with their fetish is that there simply are no women who have the same interests. A post by a woman, then, shakes their entire worldview. They're angry at the suggestion that there might be a human female interested in this topic, because if there was, then why haven't they already found her? Ironically, this perspective then leads them to lash out at all female posters, and so makes it fundamentally impossible for them to meet the woman they've been looking for all their lives. And of course driving the women away also impacts those of us men who are more patient and open-minded.
