Thank you so much for pointing this out.

The whole thread is full of toxic and judgemental comments. I enjoyed reading her post but I am put off by the absence of empathy in the comments here. Imagine being the author and reading this comment section where you're called out as a "whining", "autistic", "lame", "entitled" "tech-fetishist with poor communication skills" who is "not taking responsibility".

Am I wrong if I pick up a vibe of misogyny as well?

Half the comments are incorrectly saying "he" so no, you're not (perhaps for assuming gender, not for the critiques though).

But nice try.

Let's exclude that half (?!) and look at the others then which may very well be.

Also, I couldn't find any of those comments referring to the author as "he" / "him". Would you mind please pointing me to one?
