The worst is ‘your gender probably helps too’. The ‘Smash…’ and ‘Bruises…’ statements I can forgive as crass turns of phrase (thats being generous, but as a crass man myself I feel I should defend these somewhat).

‘All women shortlists’ — here you lost me a bit. It is definitely quite easy to argue against the use of all women short lists. I don’t think this represents a world view on women. Just a world view on how best to combat inequality. — I think it needs to be compared to his thoughts on advocacy for other disadvantaged groups before you call it misogyny.

But, ‘your gender probably helps too’. Even if it were the case, this kind of jealousy stinks. If hes blaming his failings on the difficulties of being male, well… I don’t know where to start but its immature, reductive and immodest. — I think i’m being too generous again.
