I think the difference here is between being flamed for being a woman,

Open your mind. That's all, but that's a lot and it's pretty hard to
do, speaking from personal experience. If you think it's easy then 
perhaps you aren't doing it right.

And that goes for the other 3 'what do you want us to do about it?'
