It's just one of those things people say to get under other peoples skin. It really isn't that big of a deal unless you let it be a big deal.
That's some impressive mental gymnastics. It would seem you are suggesting that no no no - people aren't using that term as a sign of disrespect - because there are great girl hockey players.

Which is bunk.

People using it are clearly trying to make fun of the players by calling them women. I don't see how that is even debatable.

It is not dissimilar from calling them "gay". Which wouldn't be acceptable any more. This isn't different.
