If you want to talk about the word misogynistic, you don't need to go much further than ACD's Sherlock Holmes.

In that story, incredibly true. But over the whole canon... not so much. This is the guy who looks the other way when abusive husbands & blackmailers get murdered, who stands up for working women on their own in Victorian society, protects a woman inadvertently caught in bigamy, and even agitates in favor of divorce. That story, stomach-turning as the ending is, is an anomaly.
