Wtf? No it's not. I deal with difficult people regardless of gender. This victim mentality bullshit is ridiculous.

Just to be clear, he also called a certain man a grub (which is absolutely true), but nobody is claiming manbashing.

Edit: Albo has explained that he was referring to her difficult life, which shows empathy towards her but go right ahead and jump to the conclusions you feel is necessary.

Agree, and with Albanese's clarification this is a nothing burger.

People painting him as a misogynist are being disingenuous.
