I see where you are coming from with this, but isn't everything actually addressed in the post (even though it's not the focus)?

She wanted to try academic teaching, took a pay cut for it, tried for a couple of years, and is factually describing that it's undervalued and exhausting work, even though she has a passion for teaching. Useful info for people thinking about it. Maybe also useful info for people who want to improve academia.

No grand systemic changes are suggested or requested in this post, nor is she asking for sympathy as such.

As a European the salary levels seem very high (top level professor in Germany starts lower than that), but the conditions (maternity leave, health care) are unbelievably atrocious.
