Who cares? The point is not that he's calling women names. If you want to say that then fine but you should read the rest of what you quoted which makes a different point entirely.

So if he had left out "Golden Uterus Complex" then it would be ok?

I think the problem is that he could have said that people who feel superiority for their reproductive organs (or whatever) are annoying. The thing is that he seems to say that women who have that problem are annoying, which completely overlooks the problem. What I mean is that it doesn't matter if it's women or men who feel this superiority, so there's no need for specifying gender.

Imagine if instead he said: "I hate black people who steal". Of course he does! But he must also hate white people who steal, in fact, he hates people who steal. There's no need for specifying race.
