There is very little misogyny in medieval settings, in the modern interpretation of it. Chivalry is a thing, after all. Women and men were valued on different bell curves, with a thinner but higher-median curve for women than men. So the top men, more valued than the top women, but the vast majority... Conscripts to play in war "games" that involve a 50%+ death rate for them AT BEST versus people who have intrinsic value by nature of their genitalia.

The moment you have a slaver raider torch a village and say "kill the men, they're worthless, but keep the women alive and unmarred" you're acknowledging a vast gap in valuation favoring women by even the worst and most villainous of your cast. Perhaps they do not appreciate that increased value, but it is a fact the one has value while the other has none.

I think the word you're looking for, in almost all your descriptors, is "misanthropy". Not liking humans in general.

EDIT: You could have a nice horrific scene in your medieval fiction where the proper feminist village informs the slaver that his actions of keeping the women alive are misogyny, and that the proper thing to do would be to treat them equally with the better treatment given to the men, and have the trained dogs rip her apart or cooked alive with boiling water poured down her throat, common methods used to kill younger men in village raids even in the modern era in Africa. Then her dying scream would be "this is such a better situation, thank you for the equality and raising my standard of living! Auuuurgh!"
