It is sexist by definition if she favors one sex over the other. If it produces something good (accurate knowledge), then I don't really see the problem...

The thing I would like to know is why she is getting so much hate. I could write articles about men scientists all year and nobody would notice.

EDIT: Went to see her handle on twitter and got my answer. She is on the left politically and is very open about it. Makes more sense now.

Nobody would notice because male scientists already get enough credit, the reason there is an article about this is because lots of women in science aren't given enough credit.

I could write about women scientists all year and nobody would notice either. That wasn't my point.
