The commentator’s statement refers to only one person. The commentator called her a bitch and said she was ugly. How does that translate into a general hatred of women? If the commentator calls a male a “dick” is the commentator a misandrist?

The problem here is not the commentator. The problem is the bullshit stereotype that any critical reference to a female is a condemnation of all females. This unwarranted stereotype is the defining difference between feminism and misandry (aka “radical feminism”).

Her behavior and attitude can be compared to that of a dog, and she is aesthetically unpleasing. While neither point is significantly relevant to the issue at hand, raising either does not make the commentator a misogynist.

“The music industry is performing better than is being claimed and declining sales can be explained by other factors in addition to illegal filesharing,” say Bart Cammaerts and Bingchun Meng of LSE’s Department of Media Studies. “The negative framing of the debate about file-sharing and copyright protection threatens to stifle the very same creative industry the Act aims to stimulate.”

There’s no question that recorded music sales have declined over the last decade—down from over $26 billion in 2000 to under $16 billion last year. But the relentless focus on P2P sharing ignores other factors, these scholars contend. The most important of these is the gradual weakening of the consumer economy over the last decade, particularly over the last two years of global recession. And it’s going to get worse.
