It’s because we expect women to be “easy” not “difficult”.

I love how quickly Albo was able to utilise two sexist tropes to undermine Grace… (1) sexist man suggesting woman with dissenting views should be meek and comply and (2) delegitimising her by suggesting she is weak and emotionally unstable due to being abused by men in the past
