I guess it would be because we don't define ourselves with only one good quality such as being just a woman. We define ourselves in other ways with our other qualities, as having intelligence or worth, that's not based on our gender. So female specific insults wouldn't carry as much weight as insults that attacked our other qualities that we hold dear.
Cuntface...I like. And you're right, if they can't come up with something a bit better than "cunt" why take it seriously?
