I'm expecting more of the same old fines for Kyrgios in this case, rather than the ATP actually taking into account his long rap sheet to do something that might actually be a deterrent.

Oh, no doubt. But if one is going to argue sexism, trying to compare Serena Williams being criticized for a really pathetic outburst to Nick Kyrgios... who also gets criticized for his really pathetic outbursts is not a winning position.
Both players have notable histories of abusive behaviour towards officials. Both get criticized for it. This is a terrible example for arguing double standards.
