In this case, it's likely worth pointing out that the author is female.

Definitely. Misogyny is thrown around so much now that it's getting a bit absurd. She made a quip about push up bras => MISOGYNY! If I made a quip about dudes padding their underwear, what would that be?
And I've always thought of misogyny to mean the hate/dislike of women; in other words, a perpetual and sustained belief, but these days it seems to be attributed to singular insults/moments of disrespect. The two are related, and hate may imply disrespect but a moment of disrespect does not imply hate.

Women can and do use misogynistic, inappropriate, and unprofessional language, too. The "was that really necessary?" question is still perfectly valid to ask even when the author is female.
