Okay. That’s not a direct accusations of being an apologist for misogyny. It’s an accusation of being defensive of criticism. I’m going to say that there’s nothing especially misogynistic about men wanting to watch sexy women having sex, either. Also, that’s something that often appeals to men more than to women. Again, “this movie sounds like it’s primarily for men” is NOT the same as saying it is misogynistic. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/misogyny-and-pop-culture-dont-yuck-my-yum-spoilers-for-the-movie-poor-things/997107)._
