People use misogynistic language all the time without being 'bad' people. That doesn't make it right; it means we live in a toxic society and we absorb a lot of that toxicity. (We also frequently use ableist, racist, etc. language without being 'bad' people.)

However, I do expect a professional writer to examine the words and language zie uses. Intent is not magic, and a professional writer should examine why zie needs to use misogynistic language in order to make the point they seem to want to make.

ETA: And a writer should not be surprised if zie's language of choice alienates a decent portion of 50% of the world's population.
