The "goat" thing is tiresome and juvenile, but my impression was that it was a mockery of her voice, and not related to gender.
I despise the term "b!tch" but not because I think it's misogynist (unless you think all gender-specific insults are). That said, I would absolutely love it if it never got used again.
As for the ones you bolded as the most obviously misogynist:

The Destiny Rules documentary did the woman no favors in my view - but once the Say You Will tour was long over and she went on to bash Lindsey for the album and tour, I really lost any respect I had for her. As she keeps getting older, she honestly just comes across to me as a bigger and bigger narciscistic jerk.

"Did the man no favors" is a very common expression. Are you upset that he changed it to "woman" because Stevie is female? I actually think that's appropriate. It would sound odd to leave it as "man."

She has become a bitter old woman who like most narcissists, finds a way to make every single event in some way about them.

So he should have said "bitter old
person"? People don't talk that way. We typically use gender specific nouns when we know the gender of the person we're discussing.
These examples of so-called misogynist language are petty feeble, frankly.

Now this one I will grant you. I remember objecting to it at the time as well. Ugh. So, I stand corrected on that score.
