It's an interesting case, because in many ways this woman is applying the same logic Joss does in his approach (http://whedonesque.com/comments/13271). But she's applying it to him and takes it to the logical absurd.
His own thesis is that: "Women’s inferiority – in fact, their malevolence -- is as ingrained in American popular culture as it is anywhere they’re sporting burkhas. I find it in movies, I hear it in the jokes of colleagues, I see it plastered on billboards, and not just the ones for horror movies. Women are weak. Women are manipulative. Women are somehow morally unfinished. (Objectification: another tangential rant avoided.) And the logical extension of this line of thinking is that women are, at the very least, expendable."
Implicitly he sees himself as fighting against that trend. This person basically goes a step farther and argues that he is intrinsically part of the mindset and he can't escape it even if he tries. (Presumably because he has the wrong plumbing)
P.S. This is pretty much tantamount to me re-fighting old flame-wars on your dime. SO if you'd rather I nixed this and took this to my own LJ, let me know.
