I get hateful, condescending messages from random men on a regular basis as well. So does every woman who is even a little bit well known.

“A new study by the International Center of Journalists and UNESCO finds that nearly three-quarters of women journalists say that they have experienced online abuse, harassment, threats and attacks.” But in truth, you don’t have to be a journalist to get attacked simply for opening your mouth and creating a story or expressing an opinion if you are a woman. That's the culture that we live in.
