> It seems like she's been the subject of vitriol primarily for being a woman

More like passing off a lack a simple lack of ability at KPCB as gender discrimination, having the temerity to file a meritless suit on that basis, losing it so conclusively, and then further demonstrating her lack of ability at Reddit thereby harming something a lot of people love a lot.

I find that easy to see how that is vitriol-inducing.




You forgot the bit where she tried to blackmail KPCB or she would appeal. She also owed them nearly 1m in legal fees which they waived.
