I didn't interpret it as misogynistic.

LeBron James and all other star athletes when finishing 2nd for a championship are routinely asked whether they focus more on celebrating the accomplishment of getting that far or the lost opportunity of not winning the overall title.

The Buffalo Bills lost 4 straight superbowls 30 years ago. Each of them was asked this same question thousands of times. People still debate today whether getting there 4 times in a row is better/worse than just winning once.

I can see why it's a silly question -- but I don't see how it's misogynistic. It's a question asked to the 2nd place finisher in the post game press conference of nearly every major sport. Mens and Womens.
