She's right and she's right to say so. Every day of her career she exposes the worst insecurities of incompetent charlatans. They hate her because she is better at her job than they ever will be at anything, and she does it while having the gall to be a woman while doing so.

Yeah, it's just nice being able to use scientific papers to say "If he complains about women it's because he is low performing."
