Regarding charges of misogyny, he apparently encourages the advancement of women in his business practices.

It doesn't work that way, ake. People are not consistent, so for things like misogyny we tend to say a person is misogynist if some of their acts are, not all of them. That means you cannot show a person is not racist or misogynist or is unselfish by looking at examples where they are; the label is acquired by examples where they aren't.

And no, I don't think Pussygate was about an abstract intellectual debate about the effects of celebrity; it was about what he as an individual felt entitled to do.
