Is the above true? Is a number of buddha sutta quotes derisive to women? How many Sutta quotes derisive to women exist? Which are the many sutta quotes derisive to women?

Re: Sutta quotes derisive to women
So the suttas have some misogynistic content, presumably related to cultural attitudes when they were composed?
And so?
And so?

I have not found it yet. Am continue looking. Is abstains from anger and from bad action "misogynistic"?
Re: Sutta quotes derisive to women
Just a Buddha's definition of (the vicāra* of) women in the Tipitaka (not entirely similar in the Agama) — and not derisive (just factual) :
.
.
* Here, vicāra [act. vicar], as a" mode of acting" (ŚrS.)“Women have a man as their ambition. They’re preoccupied with adornments. They’re dedicated to their children. They insist on being without a co-wife. Their ultimate goal is authority.”
"Itthī pana, bho gotama, kiṁadhippāyā, kiṁupavicārā, kiṁadhiṭṭhānā, kiṁabhinivesā, kiṁpariyosānā”ti?
AN 6.52
.
.
In this world, there are many people acting and yearning for the Mara's world; some for the Brahma's world; and very few for the Unborn.

That just his opinion. And his opinion doesn't amount to anything compared to the authority of ancient parampara system.
And foremost, he is of Mahayana later sect of Chinese Buddhism. Out of league. He should have stayed in his domain of Mahayana doctrine.
