Plus I doubt there are many gay men who run around not seeing a problem with physically beating women left and right.

definitely, but often i feel that when a gay man does exhibit misogyny, it is excused because he is a gay man when misogyny is incorrect regardless of who it comes from.
do i think they're on the same level? no. misogyny by straight men is on a MUCH larger scale than that of anyone else.
do i think both should be addressed? yes.
