My theory is that perhaps Isabela reacts this way because femHawke is the first woman she has had a serious emotional attachment to and not just a casual sexual relationship and therefore feels slightly more threatened.

This is pretty much what I thought about it. When you have sex with her she says she fell in love with a man before her "husband" died. Her so called "husband" was also pretty shallow and treated her badly probably making her more wary of men. Plus she is a pirate and has been on a ship full of men and probably tires of them so when it comes to a woman she cares about she is more protective of her relationship with her as it is more uncommon than a man. She probably just prefers woman in general, in a banter with Bethany she says men are good for one thing while woman are good for six. This may imply that she prefers woman over men. Another is right after you have sex if you are a man she says "I was curious about you and now my curiosity is sated" while if you are a woman she says "it was fun wasn't it, if you ever want to do it again" further implying she prefers woman. So when her relationship with a woman is challenged she will want to protect that more than if she was in one with a man. Sorry if thats repititive or confusing

I agree with most of if this besides the idea that it suggests she prefers women. i don't think that's the case at all. If that was the case it wouldn't really fit that she has never had a relationship with a women outside of casual sexual encounters. To me those comments are more of a front than anything because she feels she has more to prove to men and has experienced more pain and heartbreak. She's more guarded with Male Hawke and considering she eventually falls for for Male Hawke her comment about her curiosity being stated was obviously a bluff. The fact that most of her known daliances involve men also contradicts the idea that she prefers women.

To add to Monkey's post, Isabela makes a remark when encountering Emeric of how cruel the world is to women. Therefore, I must agree that Isabela appears to be more protective of women in general.
