In response to Difficult women, comfortable power

Thank God for difficult women!

Janine Henry gets it exactly right in articulating the meaning of women being pigeon-holed as “difficult”. When women heard Grace Tame described as difficult, we knew it was a put-down. The Prime Minister didn’t “mis-speak” or “really mean” something else. He was putting a courageous, outspoken woman into what he deemed her proper, lesser place. I’ve bought my “Difficult Woman” tee-shirt. It’s going to get a lot of wear.
