Exactly. As Diane Abbott pointed out, this would not have been said if the head of Liberty was a man. The implication is of course this woman is having an emotional and overwrought response rather than, say, a reasonable and rational anger arising from her years of experience as a lawyer, lobbyist, and activist. No doubt it's because her hormones are all a-flutter.
It seems to me to be a nasty kind of undermining insinuation which can be followed up with an innocent-eyed, "Oh but we didn't mean it like that..."
