i did not find the comment rude, nor immature. In fact, i tend to agree with it.
"I just don't take these people seriously anymore. It seems like a uniquely north american woman phenomenon."
There could be some bias because I'm in the United States, and most of the tech news and tech discussion sites I read are in the US, so I'm probably more likely to learn of things happening in the US than in the rest of the world. Still, given that every example I can think of is North American, I cannot criticize his observation.
