Alcoholic who worked in addiction medicine and "backslid" into the bottle, would you jeer at her?

Sex is a normal human urge. She is a person dealing with the same personal struggles, sadness, etc as any other person. Her sex life has harmed no one - she's not like a pastor who calls for charitable donations then steals from the collection plate.

And if she were male, it is doubtful her sex life would be so shocking; nor would she carry the Brand Of Sluttiness (pregnancy) that puts her sexual choices out in public. (This has a vicious real-world application. Afghanistan and similar places, a pregnant single woman frequently gets murdered for her immorality; her rapist or sex partner denies everything and goes unpunished).

Basically: it's misogyny, prudish titillation, and delight over a woman's personal hard time. Giving the strong impression that many here are as nasty, illiberal and finger-pointy as the much-caricatured 'right-wing haters.'
