Pao had a rough time because she was labeled as an SJW by many people and other weren't happy with her management practices. We're in a turbulent time regarding gender relations with angry and militant people on both sides of the equation and Pao was an easy target by trolls and others caught in the mob mentality of events like gamergate. Pao was treated horribly but it's not something I'm suprised to see.

The way women are treated online is horrific but Pao gave people ammunition and stoked the fires and the worst time to do so. You don't beat people with a stick when they're angry and expect to remain unscathed.

In other words, she deserved it, in your opinion?

I'm not sure if I agree with the other poster's point. But just the same, your logic is: So if I get into a fight with a drunk concealed carry holder, I deserve to get shot? Of course not. Would it have been wise of me to consider that some of the possible outcomes go beyond a few fists thrown at the pub? Absolutely.

The massive leap you're making to bait the other commenter is tacky.
