She probably didn't have loads of insecure blokes poring over her every word last year. She's getting a lot more attention now, which she seems to court.
Not the abuse of course - that's completely unacceptable and the type of baseless abuse she receives from people who don't know her or her work is disgusting and inexcusable. So many people seem to have a view about her without knowing her work or where she's coming from. I haven't read her stuff either, so can't comment on her views. Only posted to say she seems like a nightmare from an employer perspective - seems to be unnecessarily confrontational imo.

She’s had death threats, rape threats, pictures of nooses, unbelievable comments about her appearance and her skin tone. A pile of insecure little trolls trying to get her sacked.
Many from those who usually argue that ‘it’s free speech’.
And your response is ‘it’s little wonder’?
Wow.

She's brought it upon herself i'm sorry Lisa. Just the same as if i said that " i have urges to kneecap black men every day" I would expect the same kind of comeback. I don't give two shites who she is, or what work she does, she could be Mother fvckin Theresa as far as i'm concerned. To me she's nothing more than a racist troll who should be sacked immediately. And the same goes for anyone in such positions be it black or white.

Handy on a second. The tweet that has caused this just said ‘white lives don’t matter. As white lives’. And ‘abolish whiteness’. I’ve already said that I thought it was provocative and the wrong medium as it required understanding of the topic in order to realise it wasn’t racist.
Those are the tweets that have caused the death and rape threats.
This latest stuff about kneecapping white men is (If correct - there have been a few things attributed which haven’t been) has not caused the threats. It’s the result of people now scouring everything she’s written to try to get her sacked.
The tweet referenced here if it was her, is crappy. It looks like it’s a ‘jokey comment’ but I think it’s inappropriate. The problem is that in being deliberately provocative, she’s opened herself up to a whole different level of scrutiny. As Tummer pointed out, it passed entirely without incident when posted.
I’ve read her tweets in the past week and I find her manner quite unpleasant in many ways and she seems unwilling to have any sort of reasonable discussion. There was an incident with the Trinity college Porter I found distasteful for example. But I can’t know whether it comes from a lifetime of the type of abuse she’s receiving at the moment. The constant drip drip of, not so much outright hostility, but snidey little comments and constant attempts to demean can get quite wearing and being human, perhaps she sometimes snaps and says things she shouldn’t.
Whatever she has or hasn’t said, it would be refreshing if, just once, there wasn’t the threat of rape every time certain types of men disagree with a woman.

Drama Queen wanting five minutes in the limelight. As for historical “quipy” remarks, well, there are quite a lot of people being brought to task for comments made decades ago.

Why can’t we criticise Abbott’s maths skills? She should have good maths skills. She had the best education money can buy. Study history at Cambridge and still come out thinking Mao was a force for good in the world? Why can’t these things be criticised?
Same as Trump’s spelling being hilariously poor, or any other gaffe he regularly comes up with. We should expect better from these idiots.
The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
Drizzle seems a little too preoccupied with race, and not enough with individual accountability. It's how we're gonna move on, if we ever do. Ever the apologist. A woman of colour, lecturing in a fantastic institution. So oppressed by the awfully unfair structures that enabled her to rise to such a position. Oh boohoo.
People who say charged things online are gonna receive awful abuse. It happens because dimwits exist across the scale. Left and right are equally to blame. I do not condone the abuse, though I'm hardly surprised.
