I didn't claim he was a misogynist. There's no evidence of that. Now that is an overused word.

Our culture is sexist, and all of us are (in daily practice) to some degree. With women, there's a strong focus on their attractiveness that doesn't exist for men. For just one example relative to this society (not OP) people don't infer radically different personalities for men based on attractiveness (except, perhaps, for the top and bottom couple of percent) but they do for women.

Yes, I think that, based on the totality of the OP, there's a latent sexism in the way the encounter was presented.

Yes, it is overused, that's why i used it. The last sentence was not serious, but a caricature.

> With women, there's a strong focus on their attractiveness that doesn't exist for men.

Except there is not in this text. As i said, it is very balanced, if there was not the picture.

Your posts illustrates exactly what i said. Any mention of attractiveness leads to accusation of misogynist (or sexism towards woman, I have to say I don't really know the difference), no matter in witch context. No matter how the author does this for all genders, at some point somebody points out that "all genders" in include woman, and that this is not ok. And clearly discrimination to include women into "all genders".
