I didn't see anything in the article to suggest the author attributed it to anything as simple as misogyny.
From the article:
>Though Desta Bairu’s cooking drew plaudits, a number of traits beyond her control — her age, her race, her motherly mien — may have put her at a disadvantage.

- samatman 6y agoI didn't see anything in the article to suggest the author attributed it to anything as simple as the restaurant being called "Mamma Desta", either. Which was mainly my point. There's also no indication whatsoever that Desta Bairu would have preferred to be called "Desta Bairu" in print, over the "Mamma Desta" that she and the owner chose as the name of the retaurant. That's just assumed, and used as a springboard for a collection of lukewarm tropes which I summarized as 'misogyny'. I thought that was more condescending than referring to her by her nom de kitchen.
