I think that Jimmy is just angry more than harbouring a particular hatred for women. Any misogyny is buried in his general anxieties and negative view of the world. Jimmy is angry at the social and political structures that he believes has kept him from achieving his dreams and aspirations. He directs this anger towards his friends and, most notably, his wife Alison.
