Perhaps one should be guided by the recipients of such awards as to whether it is insulting. Not being a woman and not being a writer I wouldn't really know whether it is insulting or not, but I have not heard of the winner of the Orange Prize turning it down because she felt insulted on the grounds that the prize was only open to women.
