I think you may be interpreting his words too literally, which is funny, as this whole thing is about people misinterpreting him. I believe the quote in question was hyperbole, and the intention was (a) to lighten things up with a little chuckle, and (b) to demonstrate that he strongly disagrees with people who believe women are inferior.

If you give the author the benefit of the doubt, then I think you'll find him to be a painfully nice person, and he really doesn't deserve your (or anyone else's) anger.
