Is a guy misogynist if he complains about an imbalanced sex ratio and the social pathologies that spread from that? I just wish we were less quick to excommunic

  It sounds as though "the guy" in question has certain expectations about the ways in which women are supposed to interact with him. These expectations apparently vary based on his perception of how attractive the woman is; he gives women he deems sufficiently attractive social license to behave in ways that women he seems as less attractive are not granted. It's not expressly stated, but not unreasonable to guess that these behaviors revolve around the guy's expectation that a woman will respond positively to demands that she pay positive attention to him. Merely moderately attractive women are not expected to rebuff the attention of the guy, and doing so is "being bitchy." There are certainly social pathologies here, but not on the part of the women. The complaint being responded to is predicated on assigning every woman a social worth based solely on a numerical rating of sexual attractiveness. If this doesn't strike you as misogynist I'm unsure what possibly could. What you see as a "politically correct Church of All" I see as "basic decency to your fellow humans."

    So he's a misogynist for having expectations about the opposite sex? By that standard, all women are misandrists. Not putting women on a pedestal =/= misogyny.
