I listened to the song although this is definitely not my kind of music. But I
don't hear anything objectionable in the lyrics. I think people are just
becoming over critical of most things that are said and written publicly these
days and thinking that the lyrics are misogynistic is just another example of
this.

Opinions please. Someone tells me that my favorite Led Zeppelin song is
misogynistic. I differ. I say that if it was about women in general then it
would be misogynistic, but it is about one specific and no doubt fictional
woman and that exonerates it from being misogynistic. By the way, it is my
favorite Led Zeppelin song because of its sound. I went for years without even
bothering to pay attention to the words. But now that I have paid attention to
the words I don't think it is misogynistic. Let me know what you think. Here is
a link to it:

Irvin D. Yalom “Truth," Nietzsche continued, "is arrived at through disbelief
and skepticism, not through a childlike wishing something were so! Your
patient's wish to be in God's hands is not truth. It is simply a child's
wish—and nothing more! It is a wish not to die, a wish for the eveastingly
bloated nipple we have labeled 'God'! Evolutionary theory scientifically
demonstrates God's redundancy—though Darwin himself had not the courage to
follow his evidence to its true conclusion. Surely, you must realize that we
created God, and that all of us together now have killed him.” ― Irvin D.
