To the OP:
Dude, you're 17. You and your buddy haven't seen NEARLY enough action in the trenches to know what a true misogynist is. Your buddy is just throwing that word at you to sound fancy and because his social programming is on it's way to full beta-dom.
You have the benefit of being a teenager. Your actions do not get scrutinized like us old farts in our 30s. We need excuses and rationalizations for the public-at-large, see, as to why we're not married or settled down. You're in the phase of your life when you're SUPPOSED to be treating girls like shit and figuring out your place in the world, and in general, having fun without giving fuck-all about serious responsibility.
Don't even worry about that word, "misogynist". It doesn't even apply to your age group. And don't be sensitive to the slings and arrows of others either. You'll go through the biggest changes of your life in the transition from the late teens to early 20s, and your buddy will probably fall by the wayside.
If you've got some womanizing tendencies in you now, that means you're on the right path. Better hone those skills and stay ahead of the pack.
