The one I read as a teen struck me as not so much misogynistic as naively optimisic about medieval life, and even then Conrad is aware he's landed in a best-case-scenario fiefdom, where the lord is pretty decent to his subjects. I think Conrad's a little less aware that the women hit on him because *he's* a best-case-scenario.
