This is a pretty bold claim. Unwrapping the rhetoric, it sounds like you’re claiming that Holmes was given a harsher sentence because she’s a woman. However, the case is built on deliberate defrauding of investors to the tune of billions of dollars, if I understand it correctly. (I’ll admit to not paying close attention.) Do you have any examples of crimes of similar scope and how they were treated?

No, those investing clearly failed their own independent due diligence or else knew they were on a ‘punt’ (high stakes gamble with large payout). Had Elizabeth been a man, the loss outcome would've been accepted as part of the SV casino breaks, but because she’s a counterfeit (wo-) person, they called shenanigans to save face.
