Elton John Amazed at American Misogyny

At a fund-raiser for Hillary Clinton on Wednesday night, popular music hall-of-famer Elton John expressed amazement at what he perceives as a high level of misogyny in the U.S.
"Having said that, I never cease to be amazed at the misogynistic attitude of some people in this country. And I say to hell with them," he said, drawing cheers from the crowd at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan."
My perception differs and I haven't seen any data that supports his contention. However, I find it quite interesting that Elton John, a man who rejected outright the entire global population of women when he selected a partner, would criticize anybody for not liking women.

Elton John is officially recognized as disliking women and, therefore, the last guy to be speaking out against misogyny.

Not only that but what about Elton John throwing the memory of Marilyn Monroe under the bus for the sake of Princess Diana in the lyrics to Candle in the Wind? Are women interchangeable to Elton John? And, is he going to throw Princess Diana's memory under the bus when he gets the opportunity to re-re-market his catchy tune?
