In reality, I don't think there's a polarized divide. The guy's worldview was kind of messed up, a simulacrum of the misogynistic community, which he developed because of his own ok insecurities and the encouragement the misogynists give when you parrot their creed. Most people don't agree with that stuff. But most people don't call for the shunning of the guy. It's more the outrage that surprised me, because Asheville is usually peaceful. But the double standards are strong. You don't see them picketing Bikram yoga centers in spite of the apparent rapey-ness of the founder, who gets franchise money from each center.
