I do not consider it picking on women to make a statement of fact. In the business I'm in, I see this hyphenation thing all the time. It's come into great popularity the last 20 years or so, and the root of it I think is a pseudo-British "high society" affectation that gives the bearer a sense of instant "class." Hey, that's fine if they want to do that. But that won't keep me from calling a spade a fat trowel with a long handle.
Again, that's just my opinion based on what I see. It was not intended as a put-down of anybody in general or in particular.
