I think the responsibility of the reviewer is to give the target audience a sense of how much they will like the game. What bothers me here is that apparently the reviewer didn't feel the gender issues were relevant to his enjoyment of the game, nor does he think that it's relevant to the target audience's enjoyment.
Though there's probably also a fundamental issue of "it's GTA, everyone already knows it's gross and misogynist, why waste my column issues on the obvious?" going on.
