However if you think about it Stein is the most obvious choice. Sara didn't even say that he was sexist. She, like Stein, jumped on the bandwagon to make the situation less awkward (considering that the Legends already showed themselves loving to argue).

As I also noted previously, the JSA had no reason to assume that Sara was the leader, considering that all the initiatives from the Legends at that point came from Palmer, Heywood and Stein (all of whom actively tried to de-escalate the situation and parlay). It wasn't until Stein admitted he's no battle leader and officially recognized Sara as the one with experience there that the situation changed. And guess what? Hourman immediately accepted it, he didn't say "Ew, he's going to let the girl lead them?" Why? Because he's not a dolt, of course, he's a secret agent.
