Good point!
It appears that those who are the most upset with her are so because she is a conservative, and that runs counter to what some want/expect/hope a woman in politics will be.
Expecting someone to "fit" an image designed by some, and that person not mirroring that image, and the person still gets a following of respect, just is a hard pill for some and the response is always prejudice to some degree.
John F. Kennedy, Colin Powell and Sandra Day O'Connor and Antonin Scalia ran into it as well....
