This is a strange article. Yes, women are subjected to unfair levels of scrutiny culturally, and yes, it’s entirely unacceptable that she has been receiving threats and harassment.
But first off, the article frames the death threats as on par with being parodied by a baseball mascot. That’s wild. The viral moment being joked about isn’t the same as harassment, and it’s disingenuous and weird to pretend it is.
