Honestly, Skyler's entire life is a waking nightmare right now. If anyone genuinely believes she is in the wrong (concerning the general situation, of course there are instances where she does wrong things), then there is something wrong with them, morally. And it's possible to love Walt as a character, find him fascinating and enjoy watching his exploits without rooting for him, I certainly did when I first watched it and I still do now. That's concerning discussions about in-universe morality. As far as the people literally taking it out on the actress (who did a great job btw), that's pure, textbook misogyny. It's also strikingly un-self-aware, because if you're not willing to engage with questions about what masculinity is, the social factors that shape our perception of it and how it affects our daily lives in complex ways, then you're watching the wrong show, that's literally one of it's biggest themes. And yes, the general atmosphere even among the normal, rational fans at the time was that most people loved Walt and HATED Skyler. That's pretty fucked up, actually.
