Saying anything but the most minimal make-up makes women look like clowns is not comparable to saying vaginas are the primary cause of evil in the world.

A very young Mouse, who had never seen anything of the world, almost came to grief the very first time he ventured out. And this is the story he told his mother about his adventures.
“I was strolling along very peaceably when, just as I turned the corner into the next yard, I saw two strange creatures. One of them had a very kind and gracious look, but the other was the most fearful monster you can imagine. You should have seen him.
“On top of his head and in front of his neck hung pieces of raw red meat. He walked about restlessly, tearing up the ground with his toes, and beating his arms savagely against his sides. The moment he caught sight of me he opened his pointed mouth as if to swallow me, and then he let out a piercing roar that frightened me almost to death.”
Can you guess who it was that our young Mouse was trying to describe to his mother? It was nobody but the Barnyard Cock and the first one the little Mouse had ever seen.
“If it had not been for that terrible monster,” the Mouse went on, “I should have made the acquaintance of the pretty creature, who looked so good and gentle. He had thick, velvety fur, a meek face, and a look that was very modest, though his eyes were bright and shining. As he looked at me he waved his fine long tail and smiled.
“I am sure he was just about to speak to me when the monster I have told you about let out a screaming yell, and I ran for my life.”
“My son,” said the Mother Mouse, “that gentle creature you saw was none other than the Cat. Under his kindly appearance, he bears a grudge against every one of us. The other was nothing but a bird who wouldn’t harm you in the least. As for the Cat, he eats us. So be thankful, my child, that you escaped with your life, and, as long as you live, never judge people by their looks.”
Take that, subspace.

Re: There is a difference between misogyny and criticism
Misogyny has recently become a statistical concept. Now it's so easy to be frustrated with, or, as you say, be critical of an average woman -- because the average woman strives to keep us frustrated. Forget average -- make it "most women". The evil thing about women is how hopelessly unreachable they have become. Paint your face or dye your hair, and you're out of my mating pool. Pierce your tongue, get a tattoo or implants, and you're out of my mating pool forever. Same if you smoke or are religious, talk trash, or if you're ugly even without any self-inflicted "enhancements".
I find it absolutely evil that with billions of women on the planet, my mating pool is all but empty. If that's not evil, I don't know what is.
Women making themselves repulsive may just be the mechanism I always wondered about, whereby mega-cities limit their population's growth -- and not only their own population's -- being such poweful attractors, they serve as sinks to masses of newcomers, turning them into woman-clowns and misogynists unable to mate.
Yes, in principle there is a difference between misogyny and the sad observation that most women enjoy rendering themselves worthless, but statistically there's none. Not being a misogynyst in principle, I am still left with an empty mating pool.

Re^2: There is a difference between misogyny and criticism
I think you’ve hit an obvious but overlooked distinction. It’s easy for a man to either despise or just generally ignore most other men. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve met a guy who I thought I’d like to hang out with and be friends but he did something horrible—racist remarks, bragged about stealing at work, referred to women as vag—and I can’t even stand to be around the guy afterward. It’s easy, if a bit sad, I don’t need anything from men. Biologically. If I shut one out, ignore him, express disgust for his views and choices, it doesn’t make me a misandrist. Not even when I generalize it out to say I find many if not most men despicable, shallow, and stupid after getting to know them at all.
Now try this: I find most women despicable, shallow, and stupid. I’m a monster for the exact same sentiment that was previously just cynical and grouchy because I called out the other team instead of picking on my own.
Heterosexual men have a biological imperative for female company. Mix that with complex society, high standards, etc, etc, and you get frustration, hurt feelings, and loneliness which often manifest as anger. Completely natural. Not particularly happy.
There are plenty amazing women and men out there though and plenty who can be if given just the smallest sign that it’s worth it to try.
