For the longest time, just seeing girls at cons was a rarity, and when you did, the guys were always very nice and polite to you. My experience at least. I think Comic Con's problem is that it's too big and too hyped. It grew so fast, they probably didn't realize these kinds of issues could become a problem. I mean, look at how long it took for them to control the crowds. As long as the con is going to be a media frenzy, then they should get some policies in place to deal with the inappropriate behavior such as this.
