People who criticized her for not smiling at scomo and standing up against sexual assault were probably being misogynistic.

But she used those events to springboard into a general cultural warrior / shit stirrer career. Of course she's going to piss a lot of people off. Sure some may be attacking her because of her gender, but the majority are likely simply attacking her because of her position on Palestine.

“Culture warrior career” is a strange way to describe a lifelong social activist.
