Some one then asked me what pilloried means; so being the geek that I am, I did some research and the following is what it means.
A pillory (noun from Middle English) is a wooden framework erected on a post, with holes for securing the head and hands, formerly used to expose an offender to public derision. (See picture below.)
Therefore to be pilloried (verb) means to be subjected to derision.
I certainly would not mind being pilloried by her.
