The core conceit of their post is that women want to hear stupid things, and won't partner with them because they will not say them. This is essentially a misogynistic point of view and there is nothing wrong with pointing that out. Refocusing the argument on some peripheral part of what was said is not useful, because it doesn't address the core issue.

It absolutely is not misogynistic to point out that many women love to hear that sort of stuff, it's simple fact.

And no high-earning, rational male in a STEM career would ever want to be with a partner that values that sort of conversation.
