It doesn't appear that there is any consensus that he is a "self-titled chauvinistic pig". And frankly, I'd trust him to babysit my kids before I'd trust most of his detractors. If anything, his handling of the situation makes him even more admirable.

He literally called himself a chauvinist monster in that joke. Hence self-titled.

My point is that people in his position are held to stricter standards. The standards include carefully choosing what to say.

Sure, he'd make a great babysitter for your kids - he just didn't make a great public person.
