Why is it that one cannot say anything about some female without getting
that silly word flung at them?

He didn't "say anything."  He specifically belittled her for how she
expresses emotion in public, which is about as classic as misogyny gets.

You have taken a legitimate comment about the personality of a person
wanting to do what is one of the most important jobs in your country
and rewritten it to state that any such criticism is an attack on all
women for being women, instead of discussing the criticism itself.

Perhaps if you hadn't phrased it in terms of her acting, "like a
giggling teenage schoolgirl" others wouldn't have found it an
expression of misogyny.  After all, you were the one who phrased
it in terms of her being a woman.
