It's the smug attitude.
She could have posed with a PhD proving successful data transmission between quantum systems between personal computers or a PhD proving that some pharmaceutical has shown 90% efficacy in curing cancer of all types in stage 3 clinical trials, and people would have still teared her down due to the overwhelming smugness of the image.
The fact she's so smug about the political implications of smell in 20th century literature increases the likelihood of being attacked. You don't need to be go through all the rungs of the academic institution to understand her thesis is bogus and utterly irrelevant for the 99,999999% of the living population the world over. It's just another proof that humanities are pozzed and retarded and can't bring anything new to the table outside feminist and racial criticism of inconsequential details and are trapped within their insulated island of uroboric mental masturbation.

Humanity colleges are a scam and will make you want to kill yourself once you understand their stupid linguistic academic games and kindergarten politics behind the scenes. For supposedly smart people, humanities workers are blind to their own racial and nationalist and sexist biases and childish emotional reactions. I'd rather have a STEM maladjusted autist who goons to pokemon porn or MLP rather than deal with a humanity normie. They, at least, have unique and interesting perspective on things. And about 20 to 30 IQ points smarter than a humanity student.
