It is still an insult directed at the Mother of God.
It is possible to discuss the pros and cons of the dogma of the perpetual virginity of Mary without hurling sneering insults at Mary.

Such as I did by quoting Pascal? Yes, I don’t like some of the things I’ve read either re: Mary. I’m moved by what the Spirit records concerning her. That’s why I think it’s a trap to a) make too much of her (going beyond what is written) and then b) trying to cut the fantasy “Mary” down to size. Only Satan could mastermind such a double-bind for us believers to be vexed by.
