Holy crap, she DID do the exact same thing. But of course she can't put two and two together and realize that these women (if they exist at all) might be turning hostile because they realize that LKH *isn't* the sympathetic ear they wanted. And for some reason she expects to be *praised* for this behavior? Why, because she's a woman, that somehow makes it okay?

Oh, who am I kidding - it's not that she's a woman, it's because she's LKH, whose novels run on Protagonist-Centered Morality.
