No, it's there. Tarantino has talent but also has a juvenile male mindset. Hence redneck rapists are a recurring thing in his films. And misogyny. I know someone will say "What about Death Proof?", ah, the tough girls who leave their vulnerable friend alone with a creepy redneck, all so they can drive his car. Inglorious Basterds is bit better, but IIRC still has a scene with a woman being choked to death. Sure it's by a villain, but...

None of those are bad films, but anyone can find at least traces of misogyny in them.
