Doesn't seem to be the point here
I disagree. This is a social media based article, whose only purpose is to be eye-catchingly inflammatory. It's meant to get people arguing. All it's doing is documenting people online fussing with each other. They specifically used this post of a women, because people will more easily hate on a woman than a man. That's just my lived experience, though.
If it wasn't part of the point, the title would just say "guests".
