It's totally not misogynistic, but it's also not appropriate. If for
nothing else, it's just not creative use of the English language. It's
certainly better to criticise an opinion by pointing out its flaws than
to just curse someone.
Yes. Until the equivalent "male" words start getting labeled as
misandrist (which I hope never happens), then accusing the "female"
version as being sexist is *itself* an extremely flagrant display of
misogyny, vastly more misogynistic than the word itself could ever be.
