If you'll read it, you'll find that the emphasis is not to make the point that
it was a 'her', but that it was emphasizing that she was an AT&T employee and
couldn't even get service. Whether or not this was a correct assertion,
only the original AT&T employee who posted can affirm or deny; but this is
NOT a sexist highlight.
