I liked the book, and I am EXTREMELY critical of misogyny in media, especially when it comes to old venerated stuff by white dudes.
I always thought that this is one of the very rare examples where misogyny is consciously depicted as such and driven to its conclusion, when Aarfy(?) actually murders a woman, because he doesn't regard her as a human being. That whole part where that happens is like the other side of the wacky-war-hijinks medal, where all the actual pain and death and senseless violence behind it comes out, and shows the rest of the novel in a completely different light. I know that that this is a common defense of misogyny in media, like, "but it's just the characters, not the author! the characters are sexist, the book isn't!", but in Catch22 I at least saw misogyny condemned by the narrative itself.
That's just re:the misogyny, I don't really care if there's another movie.
