It isn't that simple. One might argue that the female characters in Macbeth drive the males to horrendous acts, as Lady Macbeth does with Macbeth. In addition, there are many references made to women as being weaker and gentler than men. However, these references are usually used to explore gender roles that society forces its inhabitants to adhere to, and many are used ironically. One example of this is when Macduff tells Lady Macbeth, "O gentle lady,/Tis not for you to hear what I can speak./The rpetition in a woman's ear/Would murder as it fell" (II.iii.96-99). Although Macduff believes the news of Duncan's murder is too violent a fact for a woman to be aware of, Lady Macbeth acted as accomplice to the murder. It can really be argued either way, although I believe the evidence is stronger that it is not a misogynistic play.
