Mysoginy is a pretty strong word. Antony's old general, Ventidius is an older man who has Antony's best interest in mind. He consistently tries to convince Antony to leave Cleopatra behind and return to his life in Rome in order to uphold his political power. In spite of his desire to help, he misinterprets certain events and does not do a good enough job of preventing Antony from falling back into his codependent relationship with Cleopatra. At the end of the play, he chooses to kill himself instead of killing Antony. I'm not sure his character extends to hatred of women.
