Female bloggers are uniquely chastised for seeking compensation

Evidence

I expect to be paid for my hard work, everyone does. Yet somehow bloggers have no right to that. They are expected to publish content for free. They are expected to do it out of the goodness of their hearts. They are expected to be magical creatures apparently living off of rainbows and hugs. Dare I say this holds true mostly for female bloggers. The moment a female blogger tries to find forms of compensation for her hard work she is chastised by a good percentage of her gender. She’s selling out. — Brooke Erin Duffy, (Not) Getting Paid to Do What You Love, 453
