Both the dongle guy AND her were mass shamed and canceled. Both lost their jobs. He bounced back quickly, she seems to have stayed unemployed for a long time afterwards.
When asked about each other, the guy involved who told the dongle joke basically said 'Nobody should ever be threatened or humiliated in public and if people are doing that to her it's wrong'. He seems like he kept his principles. In contrast, she basically said 'Yes he deserved it and I did nothing wrong'. She also engaged in conspiracies that he was secretly the force behind the avalanche of hate she got. From my perspective, she really does not appear to have grown or learned from the experience.
2013-2014 was quite the era for overdoing tech feminism.
I don't remember why (it wasn't Gamergate, that came later) but around that time all my SF tech worker friends suddenly realized there were no women in tech and they had to fix this by respecting women. Unfortunately they didn't know any women, so they went out and found some and started respecting them, which worked poorly as normally people don't enjoy this randomly happening to them.
So this ended up with them all being in the thrall of a poster named Shanley who would tell them all men are rapists, but if you gave her money you didn't count.
(The online SJW of that era has of course now either become an NPIC staffer who secretly works for a landlord or else a communist who secretly works for Raytheon.)
Her story was one of the most interesting ones.
