She shouldn't; on the contrary, she should thank you for bringing a serious matter to her attention. As the articles show, this is a well-known, documented, growing problem everywhere—not just in her office. If she responds defensively/negatively, you might show her those articles (I don't recall the exact search terms I used, but there were many more similar articles).
