Absolutely not. Painting a political activist provocateur's experience online as representative of how women are treated online is ridiculous at best. No, that's called kicking the hornet's nest and then getting stung. Her story... She's at a party and doesn't know anyone but happens to be sitting next to someone who is an expert in white supremacy, who knows her extensively including her work, and is aware of criticism of her work? This story is swiss cheese at best. Clearly a fabricated story that's casting shadow on the rest of the story. Then again the rest of the story is nothing but anonymous comments from random open forums on the internet? There's no credibility here. Why is literally everyone is made out to be white supremacists? If you live in a world where everyone around you is a white supremacist; you're either a white supremacist or you have done something to create it. I'm leaning toward the author being a white supremacist. Hence why the white supremacist expert knew her so well.

It’s any woman with a decent profile online - a year or two ago a bunch of women in the tech space posted the Twitter DMs they received every day for a week or so - a tsunami of crap saying they’re ugly, they’re stupid, they’re going to be raped/killed etc. > Why is literally everyone is made out to be white supremacists? She didn’t say that, but did post screenshots of a bunch of slurs based on her surname.

Absolutely the case I can see this. However, this political activist provocateur very clearly is sticking their nose deep into the hornets nest. Their experience is certainly not even close to being representative of 'women on the internet' >She didn’t say that, but did post screenshots of a bunch of slurs based on her surname. She did say this. Her story literally starts how she meets a 'white supremacist expert' in person. Which is not a thing in reality, she's either stupid and was being mocked or the story is just fabricated. Which is my take on it in OP. She's clearly just faking much of it.
