    Basically they’re scared and intimidated. Here is a person who is beautiful and intelligent and has made something of herself and that highlights their own inabilities.

    I think sexism is only part of the problem, they’d have a similar response to a male model who had a successful tech career.

      That’s certainly a part of the problem here, but let’s be honest: how often do tabloids or other low effort media publish such “inspirational” stories that turn out to be absolute bullshit. Like the 10 year old who invented some quantum stuff, but actually his father just let him play around with some tools in the lab.

      This story here unfortunately fits exactly this pattern, but apparently just happens to be true.
