What's this craziness about?! He called the man a pig, too! It's likely a word they throw around, especially at each other.
Besides, nowadays, they routinely use much worse words~on TV, in movies, in music and in real life.
How can it be misogyny if the word is applied to females AND males (at least one male for certain)?!
What about the "police = pigs" that has been around for decades? So, it's OK to call males "pigs" but not females? The women he generally dated likely were the sleazy sort, which is why she was so uncomfortable with him.

I grew up in the 50s and I can testify that we hormonal and stupid teenage boys would refer to girls we thought were overweight and ugly as "pigs". Yes we did, but never to their face. It was a "guy thing" just between us guys.
However, I've been to enough of my class reunions to see that many of those ugly ducklings grew up to be beautiful swans who don't want nothin' to do with the guys who called them "pigs". Serves us right. But, some are more forgiving than others, thank goodness.
And by the way, calling police "pigs" didn't start till the mid sixties, and the only people who used the word that way were hippies and other anti-establishment sorts with no respect for authority.
Most of my friends who have inferiority complexes are absolutely right.
