She is not being penalized for her attractiveness, quite the contrary. Her choice of clothing has allowed her to gain a substantial media following without the need for advanced technical ability - she has admitted herself that most of her projects were on a "middle-school level" (hyperbole, but still demonstrative). It's not the case of a person who happens to be attractive doing technical things and being judged for it - it's the case of a person becoming popular because of their attractiveness, with the technical abilities being secondary. Plus, if you look at the media reaction to the events, it is almost entirely supportive. Dale Dougherty was blasted by the media and had to apologize for his remarks.
