Not really. At least here on HN there was very little sexist backlash, most just concluded that she was an asshole.

"Very little" is provably wrong.

All the threads had vile posts that were an embarrassment to the community.

Luckily the very worst (which also tended to be from very new accounts) tended to be downvoted to hellban status, but there were some deeply unpleasant comments that got voted up.

DanBC is right about the comments here on HN, but I was talking about the response from the "tech community" at large in my original comment anyway.
