Then what is fighting the good fight if not bringing attention to negative attitudes towards women? It's an article about two very overrated writers who treated women terribly and yet rather than critically approach the attitudes of these authors, the article's writer gleefully revels in their chauvinism. I was bringing it to attention since it is very relevant to the article at hand.

I am puzzled what you consider being sexist here. It's just consented sex between adults, no need to feel sorry for anyone. Both men and women who have had many partners often get cynical about that and I have heard this kind of language from people of both sexes. And it does not mean treating partners terribly. Two people can meet, have sex and part ways thinking that they had another "conquest" without having any bad feelings about the encounter.

Your reaction to downvotes looks extremely flame-baity to me. It certainly makes me cringe. But that's just me, I didn't downvote you.

If this is something you want to discuss, I suggest re-submitting next week after the detox ends. Some of the down-votes you're receiving could be due to members trying to stay in keeping with the detox:

I've never read an article about Genghis Khan that warns us that murder is bad.

It's assumed that we can discuss his actions without making them a template for our own.
