So, tl;dr for your link seems to be that people are attacking this woman, not specifically because she is a woman but because they believe her to be con-artist.

  Really? I can't say I read the comments comprehensively, but the main poster called her a 'bitch' a couple of lines in, and there was a lot of discussion about her breasts. I suspect this woman's trying to deal with her detractors in entirely the wrong way - death threats are illegal, and instead of feeding the trolls, she should immediately take what she's got to law enforcement. That said, this thread is a lot less sympathetic than I would've expected. No one deserves that sort of abuse. Let's say she was a con artist. There's also legal ways of dealing with that, and none involve discussing any part of her anatomy.

    "Really? I can't say I read the comments comprehensively, but the main poster called her a 'bitch' a couple of lines in, and there was a lot of discussion about her breasts." Is not the same thing as targeting her specifically because she is a woman. Had the target been a man, they would likely have accused him of having a small penis. It's not right, it's excessively personal, but it's hardly what she described in her post. I didn't personally detect credible death threats and unless you can, I think it's a non-issue.
