Could someone point me to canonical text showing that the twins have a 
particularly bad attitude toward women in general?  I know that they 
commented that the person who had set the Lockhart books as texts for 
DADA had to be a witch---but, as nearly as I can tell, Lockhart is 
portrayed as the sort of man that women melt over but who leaves other 
men cold.  Through Harry's eyes, we can see through him pretty 
quickly, but Hermione apparently is still all gooey about him for 
quite a while after he's already demonstrated his ineptitude.  

I don't remember the twins being particularly unusual, for teenage 
boys.  What a lot of women don't understand or realize is that a lot 
of men (and teenage boys!) rather resent the power women can wield 
over them, and this can come out as some level of anger toward women 
in general.  Kind of like how a lot of women have, on some level, a 
certain amount of anger at men.  As long as the sexes have different, 
and not-always-compatible, OSes, this is going to happen to some 
extent.
