These kind of responses are exactly the reason behind her first paragraph.

These kind of responses are exactly the reason behind her first paragraph. "I have struggled with writing this blog post for months. Unless I have an absolutely perfect, bulletproof business (which I do not), I'm easily written off as someone blaming my failures on my gender." It is a genuine problem that she is trying to raise awareness for. Why she struggles writing it is because she knows that she'll get your kind of response. She knows it will make her look weak, she knows it might label her a trouble maker not worth investing in. The really frustrating thing is that you're in a similar position, so you should know that women have a harder time than you. You're the first one that should be jumping up and down and jumping to her defense. You should be outraged at the things that happened. The point isn't even the lack of investment which is is what you're focussing on. The point is that to get that investment she has to accept: groping, comments on looks, date requests.
