honey is far from a misogynist statement. It might be condescending, but it expresses no HATE towards women which is what misogyny actually means.
check for yourself.

The (Etymological) Roots of misogyny
Misogyny may be
distinguished from the closely related word sexism,
which signifies discrimination based on sex (although it most frequently refers to discrimination against women)
and also carries the meaning “behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex.”
Misogyny refers specifically to a hatred of women. The word is formed from the Greek roots misein (“to hate”) and gynē (“woman”). Each of these roots can be found in other English words, both common and obscure. Gynē helped to form gynecologist and androgynous, and misein can be found in such words as misoneism (“a hatred, fear, or intolerance of innovation or change”) and misandry (“a hatred of men”).
