Yeah but the thing is, it really does look bad that he seemed to judge Jack for not looking in a way he considered 'feminine' and in turn the second one where he seemed to be suggesting that baddassery and aggression were typical male traits.
Now thing is, had he actually tried to defend his position I wouldn't have had a problem with it. If he had instead decided to respond to the carefully thought out constructive criticism that people were giving him about this then maybe people could accept it as a joke.
He chooses instead however, to hide all the comments and label all their concerns and opinions as 'funny feminist issues' which in turn only serves to validate the idea that he is a misogenist. Avoiding defending his work or trying to hand out any kind of qualifying statement ('no, I'm totally not saying that toughness can't be a female trait' etc) instead he just bails and leaves one final smart ass condescending remark in the process.
So to all reading, he has validated their opinion. He really does have a low opinion of women and he really did geniuenly believe all the things he said. Yes he judges women's worth by their looks according to what he, as a man, considers to be 'female qualities', yes he really does think that badassery and violence is a 'man only' thing and Jack just needs to learn to be more ladylike and yes he really does think that all the cruel experiments run on Jack were worth lols and no sympathy because he doesn't like her for the first two reasons.
Regardless of whether or not he truly believed it 'comments hidden due to funny feminist issues:D' says it all, and if you ask me, makes his whole position impossible to defend and in turn makes the accusations hard to rebuke. If he doesn't even bother to respond to the criticism, he has no way to defend himself and suddenly it doesn't look like a joke. It looks like blatant sexism tarted up into the form of a joke.
Still, that's just my view. I'm fairly politically minded you see.
