I think you're right that guns and murder are the main issue in the shooting. But it's not the only issue. The reason that the gun issue has not really gotten as much attention is because after Sandy Hook it seems like there is absolutely nothing you can do in the USA to get the gun laws changed to make them even one iota more restrictive. If the NRA and their supporters isn't moved by the senseless gunning-down of 20 kindergartners and 6 brave teachers, then what would move them? Well, nothing.
The issue of misogyny, however, is somewhere we might be able to make a difference, so it should be addressed. It's a separate issue. Saying it should not be addressed because it's not the issue you care about isn't really fair.
The other issue, insultment, ridicule, and harrassment of all people--not just women and girls--is a third issue. (I don't think being fired because you're a man is a large systemic issue, sorry.) This issue is probably best classified as bullying and, if you don't have kids of school age you might not know this, it is a huge issue in many parts of the US, and is being addressed accordingly. My kids' school has a zero-tolerance policy towards bullying, for example.
