Is this misogynistic?
I've seen this ad a bunch and I'm starting to conclude that it's uncomfortably misogynistic.

First off, it seems to play off the idea that everyone is trying to save this poor ignorant woman from herself (with the 'Hey lady!' underscoring it). And just as you think it could redeem itself with a, "Hey, idiots, she knows what she's doing" message...it ends with her giving a look at the MAN that we didn't know was with her giving it a, "Didn't you all realize I have a man with men?" vibe that just seems wrong. Why did he have to be there?

Maybe I'm reading too much into it.
