The minute Amy Klobuchar started getting some traction in the 2020 nomination race, the stories of how she was mean to her Senate staff started to appear. A male boss can be demanding, but when a female boss does the same thing she is deemed mean, or even bitchy...often by female reporters. One of the worst misogynists in the MSM is Maureen Dowd, whose specialty is the feminization of Dem men. Recall she once said that Al Gore was "practically lactating," and she likened Barack Obama to a debutante..."O'Bambi." And her Hillary hatred goes without say.
I was shocked to see this NYT article regarding campaign staff/volunteers complaints about harassment and pay, though this article (and a few others) did not unleash a torrent of similar articles every single day for months at a time like the campaign we're seeing against Biden and Harris.
Imo, I think many male reporters who follow Kamala bring with them their own anti strong woman biases, knowingly or not, and project them onto the stories they write, ie Kamala’s. Bernie’s a gruff old guy and that kind of behavior from him is a given. For Kamala it’s unbecoming, a lack of competence……

oh it’s interesting, Dowd co-wrote that Dan Quayle valentine
In contrast her writings about the much more qualified Gore dripped with disdain.
And trashed Gore, and pimped for GW Bush, at every turn, in 2000.
In 2015 a Vermont news outlet had reported similar complaints about Bernie but the mainstream media chose to ignore that story.

So it’s likely more the ‘Dem’ aspect first - then the woman-thing?
Nooooo. It’s the combo rolled into one nasty meme. Cheap shots taken with a dash of glee.
I see the Bernie/staff reference does validate the misogynist argument. Depressing.
