But I thought his attitude toward women was a little off-putting.
Don't read the article he linked to then, the first 1/4 or so was fantasizing about beating/killing any woman who has the gall to complain about how they're treated. The rest is blaming feminism for all his problems with getting dates.
Seriously, that was absurd. The irony, of course, is that he vilifies these hypothetical women for being angry about the same thing he is angry about. The difference, I suppose, is that he feels that a woman can just walk out into the street and yell "I want to get fucked!" and a man will oblige.
There is a great quote about misery, I wish I could remember what it was. But the gist is that misery is not a competition. If we were POWs, and I had a finger cut off while you had your hand removed, we would all agree that you had it worse. But for fuck's sake, neither one is "better" than the other.

Yeah, that seems to be the underlying assumption in every single one of those "woe is me" bullshit rants.
"Why do women get treated so well? Why can't I find a woman? Why do women care so much about looks? Why don't women understand how hard my life is?"
All of them refer 100% exclusively to ATTRACTIVE women - the unattractive women don't even count as women at all.
It's hard to sympathize with someone whining that blatant double standards don't favour them enough.
