I wish I had the context of Sara's tweet here, but she didn't simply post the link. The link itself was at the end of a 280-character tweet. You are assuming she "did not do her due diligence" when it's simply untrue. She made fair points and disclaimers.
Learning to sift through criticism is difficult, yes, but it's an important part of working with others, which is a big part of OSS! Whether or not he would have felt slighted by ANY public figure sharing a criticism of his work is irrelevant, to post a reply like that so brazenly comes from the system we are in. And that's what is key to understand. I'm not saying he consciously thought, she's a woman and she's not even American or white! How dare she! It's deeper than that. It's the entitlement.
It's like saying, well, women are in the minority at our company, but it's not because I thought, I don't want to hire women or women aren't capable, it's a complex web that gets woven and dictates our behaviors.
