I find the sexual harrassment to be appalling and it upsets me that she had to face those types of challenges when her only goal was to increase engagement with the user base.
Though I have to wonder how many of the total user base were responsible for the harrassment. They should be able to track this through logs etc to better understand the scale of the harrassers.
One must equally be prepared to ask if this is an expected outcome from selection bias? Her user base appears to be onlya sub section of a subsection of a slice which is only a slither of the meme following community. I a going to generalize here but when you cater to a community which runs off dark humor, sarscasm, and the occasional debauchery - I wouldn't be surprised of the possibility and abundance of users that are non-pc and disregard most of the norms established in society.
To be very honest, I feel like her post is the equivalent of a female prison guard complaining of the lack of empathy and manners in the male prisoner population... One could also make the comparison of female guards in a female prison.
Females are not as physically strong as males on average and due to this and other societial factors, they are exposed to an over adbundance of harrassment.
It's a problem yes, but it is an obvious expectation of unfettered anonymous communication on this the internet. Just as the potential for violence, injury and bodily harm is there for many professions that engaged with large the populations - cops, guards, public relations, celebrities, journalist, etc.
Unless the internet is regulated, I believe all users should be very aware of it's faults, and perpensity for unusual and harrassing behavior. To control that aspect of the internet would be to implement censorship which would cause way more harm.
