Seems to be going a bit far IMO.
I get being angry at women who are happy in inappropriate situations (ie laughing at an incel getting rejected/bullied) and I don't consider that misogyny (face it you'd be mad at guys laughing too)
But this is like legit misogyny if that's really his only criteria. Of course some stuff might be lost in translation: maybe he used a term with slightly different connotations than happy?
I don't defend genuine misogyny like this, just the right to be angry at individual women when there's a good reason, ie stuff wrongly labelled misogyny when it's not a universal hatred of all women.
I guess technically "hatred of happy women" is not ALL women (ie he doesn't seem to hate/target women who look sad) but it's still going a bit far.
Women can be happy about a wide variety of stuff (just like us) and I think that prompts different reactions in us. If I was on a bus/subway and heard a girl playing hearthstone and she seemed happy because she was enjoying her video game, that wouldn't make me hate her and want to harm her.
If however she was talking to some GF about "ew, look at this ugly guy, I'd never fuck him" then obviously that gets less empathy from me and I'd dislike her for delighting in others' misfortune. Not murderous-stabby like Yusuke (I have a little more tolerance/flexibility and degrees of dislike) but enough that I'd hesitate in putting myself at risk to protect her (whereas I'd be much more likely to endure some risk to defend Hearthstone-playing QT sitting along enjoying vidya like a kindred spirit)
Police Arrest Train Stabber Who Injured 10 & Wanted to "Kill a Happy Woman"
A violent stabbing resulting in ten people being injured (a rarity for Japan) took place on a Tokyo train, the 36-year-old male informing police that he wanted to "kill a woman who looked happy", though it seems nearby bystanders who didn't fit his criteria also applied. The male criminal, Tsushi

A violent stabbing resulting in ten people being injured (a rarity for Japan) took place on a Tokyo train, the 36-year-old male informing police that he wanted to “kill a woman who looked happy”, though it seems nearby bystanders who didn’t fit his criteria also applied.
The male criminal, Tsushima Yusuke, swung around a knife on an Odakyu Electric Railway train in Tokyo’s Seijogakuenmae, maiming ten people despite there being heightened security because of the Tokyo 2021 Olympics.
The train driver brought the public vehicle to an emergency stop after hearing the chaos unfold inside the carriages.
A female victim in her 20s was dealt grievous injuries to her back and other parts of her body, though all of the victims are said to be conscious and 9 were taken to a hospital (the remaining one left the scene).
The bloodthirsty perpetrator escaped by jumping onto the train tracks but later waltzed into a convenience store five km away from the initial scene, telling the employees that he was the suspect from an “incident reported by news media” and that he would no longer run.
When arrested by police, he admitted that he wanted to “kill a woman who looked happy”, the male seemingly having some sort of hatred for women, perhaps due to past experiences – police are investigating further.
