Not really a particular moment, but the tendency for male talent to patronize women wrestlers by letting themselves look weak against someone whom Hornswoggle could probably beat. For example, WWE lets Divas hit and perform wrestling moves on Superstars but not vice-versa.
The Indies have a ton of instances where a male wrestler just lets a woman wrestler beat on him for minutes at a time (e.g MsChif vs. Pete Maddox) instead of fight back, when that same guy goes toe-to-toe and even beats more established guys but somehow cannot muster enough strength to reverse anything that's not an Irish whip when fighting a woman. It's really obvious they're against actually making a woman take bumps, especially if they have a prematch spiel about wanting to fight a man instead.
Notable exceptions to this were Danny Daniels vs. MsChif and Ian Rotten vs. Mickie Knuckles. Those at least had a credible balance of offense on both sides. Women wrestlers will continue to have a low glass ceiling outside some Indy midcard title until they're booked to take a lot more punishment and have fewer contrived spots.
