It's funny that you phrase it that way. I didn't know the author was a woman (does it matter?).

As others have noted, this form doesn't need your personal information, so no I don't agree that this is an "exploit". You never have to give your personal information.

The situation reminds me of people who make anti-Scientology videos and then cry about freedom of speech when the cult's legal juggernaut descends. Is it fair to get a DMCA or lawsuit threat just because someone disagrees with your content? No (assuming you did not violate copyright protection laws). But getting bit by a shark because you're wading in its pool isn't fair either - just inevitable.
