Regardless of what content, jezebel is a terribly biased website with shoddy articles. And exactly how is it misogyny considering that the blogger went on for non sexist comments? If he just was rude to her without bringing her gender on the table, how is this misogyny? I feel like people just need an excuse to make sexist visible in one form or another even when it doesn't exist. Yes, gaming caters towards a male audience. Yes, we definitely need to focus on making games themselves that aren't sexist both to men and women. However, this is a problem visible in all forms of media catering towards men.

Here's the point, sex sells. And inside an industry where the majority of workers are men, the disparity does stand out. There is no misogyny in this case. Making a mountain out of a mole hill. As I said prior, jezebel is a very shitty website.
