I'm not sure whether we'd be able to work around not having high expectations or opinions on someone. It's far too complex. A woman with more than 50 Vogue covers will always have more regard than the one who doesn't.
And I certainly don't put Miuccia on a pedestal personally. She's way too flawed, from what I gather, to deserve one. What does irk me about her is that the message which she sends out doesn't match these shenanigans.
To deem a designer who glorify hypersexual women as women-hating is simply backwards. That's a slippery slope and many have proved that theory wrong over the years. Tom Ford for instance is an excellent example. The woman which exemplifies his brand is consensual and in control at all times. There's a sense of empowerment. Plus over the years, the collections, the interviews, the campaigns, the collaborations, you can sense there's genuinely a relationship an affinity for women. One rooted in reality, not mythical or toxic. Same can be said about Alber, JPG, Marc, Christiano Siriano (even though I don't care for his aesthetic) and many of the old guard. I don't for instance get the same sense from Hedi Slimane. But that may just be me.
And while you do bring up a valid point that outrage culture for most part tend to be superficial, I still think that it can bring change about even in a micro sense. I don't want to bite off far more than I can chew here (it's Monday morning, the weather is gloomy, and I'm trapped in an immaterial yet beautiful Cornish village with deluded and arrogant locals who treat me like I'm a foreigner!
), so I won't get into the disparity between how Europeans are treating persona non grata vs Americans. Hint, I happen to think it may be due to Europe's eery obsession with tradition, but more of than another time.
