"Sexism" and "misogyny" are huge, broad, really vague categories. Personally I think most masculinist women are misogynist, but I don't think your proposal for language needs that debate.

The examples, on the other hand, are clear and specific, and could make a solid, enforceable policy that shouldn't be terribly subject to disagreement or argument.
