If the woman said something like “anyone would be nervous in enclosed spaces with men” it would be closer. Unfortunately, this utterance is also clearly false, so this would be more like a case of Ultimate Attribution Success. I guess you could change the example so that the guy was armed, wearing gang tattoos, listening to rap music, etc.
Based on this response, I think we are talking past each other, about completely different things. To clarify my own point: The example was NOT about the woman applying UAE to the man on the elevator. The UAE I was talking about was in the next paragraph:
when men see women complaining about feeling unsafe, or not being as good with computers, they are more likely to attribute these to factors about the women’s personalities. “She’s just overly sensitive”, or “she’s not good at computers.”
Nope, we’re talking about the same thing. I only make the elevator more threatening in order to make her, situation-based, view more credible. Otherwise, it’s clear the she is wrong—it is not the case that anyone would be nervous in such scenarios—and thus that the men judging her later are committing no fallacy.
