What a patronising arsehole

@BestPreston 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 I can't interpret it otherwise either

Yes, seems like that to me too: a misogynist dog whistle wrapped in an apology that isn’t an apology. 😐

"I'm sorry that you are too dumb to understand me correctly"

@kauer @BestPreston 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.

@kauer "Difficult" is short for "difficult to use"
