So then we're left with a word that is too abstract to be useful. If you tell me "this game is misogynistic", I have no idea what to expect. A serial killer that targets prostitutes is a misogynist. So is a college kid that says "Kate Upton is hot".

Since this comment isn't coherent, I'll just address it by sentence: 1. No. 2. Ok, and? 3. Yes. 4. Nobody made that argument. Worth noting: with that last sentence, you transitioned from someone arguing about semantics to someone arguing that we are too confined by the concept of misogyny; you allowed your agenda to seep through. Unsubtly.

    If you want to have that argument, I'm sure you can find someone to have it with.
