I think people kept quiet because most of what she did seemed reasonable at the time. When you're suddenly put in charge of a sinking ship, you need to make big risky bets in order to turn things around.

If I'm reading the subtext of your post correctly, you're insinuating that people didn't want to call her out publicly because they didn't want to seem sexist? If so, that certainly hasn't stopped people from taking potshots at her now.
