@BestPreston@aus.social I wonder if there are any times when a man in power has referred to another man as "difficult". It seems to me to be a misogynist dogwhistle.

    @kauer@aus.social I can't interpret it otherwise either

    @kauer@aus.social @BestPreston@aus.social Yes, seems like that to me too: a misogynist dog whistle wrapped in an apology that isn’t an apology. 😐 #AusPol #misogyny #dogWhistle

    @kauer@aus.social @BestPreston@aus.social it's only used on women because we're supposed to be complacent. You don't refer to equals as being difficult, only those you see as tools and/or property.
