I can't say the term misogyny ever occurred to me while reading any of his books. Yes, there are rapes, but none of the victims are ever, as far as I can recall, portrayed as deserving of their mistreatment, or as having brought it on themselves. On the contrary, the perpetrators are portrayed as evil or amoral bastards (or in the case of Thomas Covenant, a deeply dysfunctional and thoroughly broken man), placing the blame exactly where it ought to rest. So no, for me it doesn't tick any of the boxes which would indicate misogyny.
