Ehh I dunno… I don’t agree with him but we don’t have to preface our opinions with “this is just how I feel, but…”.
If I say “this pizza is horrible”, it’s clear that it’s just something I think and not everyone has to share that opinion. The subjectivity of the statement kinda speaks for itself y’know?
What if I said the same thing about a painting in a museum? If I said “wow that thing is hideous”, no one would take that to mean “everyone must also think this is hideous”. Just because it’s a cultural norm doesn’t change anything I think.

There’s a difference between stating a preference and enforcing a cultural standard.

“this pizza is horrible” isn’t misogyny though, so it doesn’t benefit from the distancing.
