In Glamour magazine.
1) Don’t worry, Francis, I’m pretty sure there are few feminists who will be chasing after you.
2) You know what? If by “high and mighty” you mean holding ourselves to a higher standard so that we can create a culture that is more respectful of other human beings, then I gladly be “high and mighty.” I kindly ask, sir, that you get on my level.

Read this again and note the words “too” and “And they everything is sexist”. Now has it struck you that he may in fact classify as a liberal feminist and might in fact be referring to radical feminists? Or women who qualify as a feminist, and then hold that as a main part of their personality and can only speak out of the whole “group thought” as if feminism was at all a unified ideology rather than an umbrella term for people who have the belief in the equality? You know the type that goes out and states the most bullshit thing they quibble over and then draw a line in the sand, where they announce that your with them or you’re a misogynist even though it conflicts with other strains of feminist thoughts?Yeahhhh, nice try though.
