AIO because I helped a woman in distress as a woman?

I feel like I’m losing my mind. I walked into my apartment and a woman was clearly in distress, asking for someone to call 911 for her. She had no shoes because her boyfriend withheld them so she couldn’t leave (cold and snow outside). The event shook me, as I’ve been in her shoes before and I wanted to talk about it with my partner to cool down. He got mad at me instead. Did I communicate improperly???
