Really? The article's suggestion that a good-looking woman should consider her looks her most employable asset sure set off alarm bells for me.

The article doesn't make the claim that it's her most employable asset, it's highlighting a trait that's visible from her page requesting donations, and would potentially remove the need to seek donations.
Not everyone is comfortable with selling their looks, so it’s not ironic for a good-looking person to ask for money.
How is this "dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women." You don't know what misogny is.

There are true misogynists out there doing real damage to women. But conflating real misogyny to what the author said, which is nowhere even close to misogyny, is actually undermining all the work people are doing to make people aware of real misogyny.
