Does anyone know of/have a horse that detests women?

I've experienced a few horses with a hatred towards men, but never one that hates, or appears to hate women - until yesterday.
I can tell you more if you wish to know, but thoughts on this please?
 
Maybe he was beaten by a women. I won't know. But, I can tell you he is a yearling colt and as clear as day didn't approve of ladies invading his space, yet was and looked totally chilled when 2 chaps went and 'tended' to him, one chap being a total novice.
There was no point in us two ladies even trying anything with him as he clearly didn't like. We backed off.
 
No but my Foxy ADORES men and I mean adores. I think at some point she must have been very close to a male.
Maybe hes been hurt by a female?
 
I've met ponies who don't seem very keen on adults of either gender but fine with children and the reverse and those who don't like men but never one with a thing against women.

I also use to own a pony who adored rottweilers, if ever he saw one he used to go soppy and try to go in for a cuddle... (at his previous home he had a rotty friend)
 
I've known a couple of horses who had an intense dislike for specific women (I don't know why), but not for women in general. It will be interesting to hear how common this is.
 
My big tb that is going pointing seems to hate women. When I had him at home, he hated me would bite me when brushing, charge me in the field, fine with man farrier, vet etc. He has now gone to a boy to race and seems to hate his girlfriend,has kicked her twice but with him is like a little lamb. If I visit him I go to stroke him and the ears go flat back. Yet he comes over and can give him a nice scratch. He came from a raceyard that was predominately women so maybe he had bad times. But he really likes men
