Found the misogynist.

Has nothing to do with her sex, but she's already making trouble where there's no issue.

There absolutely is an issue: OP did shoddy work. The author absolutely should have pointed out the shoddy work since 1. It reflects on her personally since she’s in the piece and 2. It reflects on the university who pays OP.

Pointing out bad work isn’t “making trouble”.

She didn't "point out bad work." She made false accusations and LIED.

She didn't do either of those things. Her accusations weren't false; they were entirely reasonable (and likely true) that OP essentially ignored her on the call because of unconscious bias (whether gender or race).

She didn't lie either, as she probably misheard OP's very badly worded statement about not wanting to "not hear" them both.

Her complaints and accusations are totally reasonable.

Work that mischaracterizes and diminishes the role of women and particularly WOC is bad work. The woman may have guessed the wrong motive for the bad work— personally I see quite a lot of bias in even the sanitized version the OP chose to share— but that’s not a “false allegation” since, again, the work reflects all the OPs mistakes.
