As the main story took over, the misogyny died down/found a place to make sense within the story, but I still think it could have been cut down by at least 70% and remain impactful. Besides that, the writing is very good and the main character/vehicle for the story around him is tragic.

Eh. There is a lot of misogyny here intentionally, quoted from famous "thinkers" throughout history, and it's still going 43% into the book - we get it already. The surrounding story is just starting to get interesting, but it's bogged down by those integrated quotes.
