1st of all as per Hindu sastra insulting a MAN for his family and caste is equal to a woman's molesting.

Karna was proud of his RADHEYA name in fact he chose Radheya existance over Kounteya .. but Draupadi's tone itslef was insulting .. he rejected because he belonged to a lower caste and she did it when Karna was invited in Swamvar .. it was like 1st invite in swamvar and then humiliate him in name of caste-ism .. Karna never said he wanna be a Kshatriya he said he want the right of normal human being, acceptance of his talent and don't humiliate him dragging his caste. rejection for his CASTE is naturally an insult that too inviting him in open ceremony
u said the insult was equal to a woman's molestation... so if karn was with no flaws he shud've had the senses on not committing a crime in the first place!!!
coming to sastra, it considers woman as the prime force of all...
it is said whoever she might me... whatever she might be...
she is to be respected always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
