yeah, I think the email is probably fake and made for internet points / humor

Eh, you'd be surprised at how far some people will go to criticize women in STEM fields. It's not everyone, and I doubt it's even a majority, but there's enough that I wouldn't be surprised if this is true.

Or maybe the OOP is a mathematical Lisa Frank. Idk

no denying that people criticize women in STEM (as a woman in STEM myself), but there are series of "dear Faith" email posts that collectively seem a bit unlikely in their tone and situation, which is what makes me think it's more likely they're fake than real

that said, this particular email seems more plausible than the other one about plagiarism.
