Why must a male commenter say something as such a misogynist?

Why was it allowed that a reviewer refer to an older woman as a "disgustingly sexual female?"

Was John Law "disgusting" as a 60 plus year detective flirting and coming on to women 30 years his junior?

How about Tom Selleck(72), Sean Connery (86), or Harrison Ford (72) still being paired off with women in their 20s and 30s? No one talks about their being "old and disgusting."

In fact that was my chief problem with John Law's "Morse." It seemed as if EVERY show had some younger honey either coming onto him or vice verse.

I was inundated with detectives and police officers when my husband was murdered and I wouldn't have cared if it had been Hugh Jackman investigating my loved one's murder, my mind was FAR AWAY from any casual affair with a copper! And if the detective had flirted with me I would have made sure that his career would have been over.

Is this a "British" thing? You just don't see this going on in our detective procedurals. SPOILER! Now Kevin Whately slowly falling in love in with the pathologist was delightful.

SPOILER! Even in the first three seasons of Endeavour Morse was pretty casual about "rumpy-pumpy" (really? That expression is used?) It just turned me off, but then Morse was a badly damaged man. SPOILER! If one reads the books one finds out that he sure likes his pornography too!
