She may have been a gold digger, but the men chasing her were not interested in women with brains. They wanted her only for her looks, which says just as much about the men as it does her.

While she was of average physical beauty, Ms. Monroe became famous because of how she used her looks. She was known more for her coy, sexy attitude rather than her physical beauty.
Sexy has always been more about attitude rather than looks.

She was actually an intelligent woman by some accounts. It's just that men did not value women with intelligence during that era, and some still do not. She used what she knew would work.

a gold digger banking on her looks to get things from exploitative men banking on their social connections to keep them wealthy
imagine if she had lived in a society that provided her with an opportunity to take another path to success

Are you calling me an anti-semite?
Not every criticism of any particular woman is misogyny.
1) She's super blatantly advocating gold digging as a lifestyle. 2) Men found that super hot.
That sucks and blows at the same time, on the side of her and on the side of the men.
Still, she's the one doing it. Playing her as a victim on behalf of all women is a bit cheap.

She did it at a time when her options were limited, and she was playing the part of the performer she did not compose the song, men told her what to sing to increase her appeal to men

African-American dudes who rap about being violent criminals have other options because they have been given equal rights and opportunities but they frequently instead turn to a glorification of violence and decide for themselves what they are going to say in performance

mostly tho, did it for irony one of the earliest criticisms of my posts in the funnies thread was me being misogynistic based on that content
