I don't really think that woman in power positions or in the public eye are that easily offended by a compliment (or an insult).
I get that. I only said that maybe to call misogyny a compliment on the look of a woman on top of all her other qualities maybe it too much. "she is really smart" and "she is nice looking" are not mutually exclusive in a discussion.
1 - It's not just about HER. It's all the other women who see her and see what's actually being discussed in public about her.
2 - It's NOT A COMPLIMENT. She's not looking at this thread and saying "wow, I'm glad that dude thinks I'm kind of hot." it's a whole group of people having a discussion about a very important product on the market, and someone trying to start a side conversation about appearance. It has no business being in this thread, and it makes half the population less welcoming to the discussion.
