We get so hung up on what people really •believe•: is Whathisname (just searched it, it's Billy) Bush •actually• a misogynistic jerk like that? Does he really think of women that way?
In those situations, belief is not nearly as important as action. Who laughs along? Who joins in? Who sits out? Who pushes back?
An old saying: “We are what we pretend to be.” I might add: “We are what we permit around us.”
