Her videos are not taken down, just have what YT calls "limited monetization". How does she know the same does not apply to other YouTubers she pointed out? Afaik the monetization status is not displayed anywhere on the site for anyone else than the channel owner.

She could have just watched the videos from a non-Premium account (or not logged in) and tracked the kinds of ads shown.
If that's the case then I would love to know how reliable this method is, and whether she actually did this research before making the claim that other videos are not demonetized. If there really are not while hers is, then obviously YouTube has a problem.

Good luck writing a paper then squeezing it into a Twitter post.
She almost certainly did that kind of research. She's basically forced to at this point.
Seems like everyone is just guessing at this point. She's in this thread right now, why not ask her? Everyone is fighting over one another for women's rights while ignoring the actual woman

Because this is Hacker News. We can't summon her with @SexyCyborg or /u/SexyCyborg like we can on Reddit. Heck, you won't even be notified of my reply, and will have to actively check out your threads.
I understand how this policy may reduce heated arguments, but it makes it harder to connect with people, and I've never managed to have an actual conversation spanning several days here.
Oh I actually wasn't aware of the. Yes I agree.. I can see how it avoids arguments a bit, but it'd be really useful in situations like this where one wants to single out certain voices. Seems otherwise they get drowned out by the masses of posts

How many views do those videos have though?

Not sure what the number of views has to do with anything, but this one has over 80k: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LwMokG2urk
Search for "391533" and you can find several others with thousands of views.
She's posted many examples of videos by other YouTubers (most, if not all, men) that show reconstructions of nude female busts. Here are some:
