Really the "point" : of that dramatically was as you said, to subvert expectations of what the : strong silent type is, and further expose O'Brien's ego and bias. It's the : 26th century, he isn't looking at her and thinking "zomg a girl" : but rather realizing that he never even bothered to speak to her to find : out. And to telegraph the fact that the Spartan/ODST rivalry is a : completely one-sided artifice. Spartans probably don't give it a second : thought.
