I think it is important to highlight this. Modern social standards do not apply "reasonable person" caveat, and over-emphasize on never questioning the victim. This works well for victim support mechanism, but completely falls apart as a justice mechanism. This is why "social justice" became derisive term.

There is no question that Trump is many kinds of -ist, but the acquisition of misogyny is so frequently abused that it became meaningless. If anything, it became purely social signaling and display of virtuous behavior in certain circles. This is why Trump could shrug it off and move on.

The above is a direct result of cult of anti-privilege (aka victimhood) perpetrated in the social studies circles. More they stretch the definitions, less meaningful any specific instance, no matter how egregious, becomes.
