Conversely I have hears things like:
Since Behag will not allow women to read the Megilla 
Or since Rema prohibits women getting qabbalh on shechita
Or Since Rav Shaul Lieberman prohibited Semicha for women
Or Since Rav X prohibits women from saying Qaddish

Therefore they have a misogynistic agenda.

With no regard to their halachic analysis

So this works both ways.
