It was quite offensive and I think is right up there with Kramer's response to the heckler at his show. I followed the Tosh story a bit when it came out though and can't remember any support saying that the woman in the audience should toughen up. The best I could find online was that Louis CK tweeted that Tosh was funny after the incident. That was coupled with every other post condemning what he said.

A whole bunch of comedians (mostly male) came out in his support, and several have continued to make comments about how women should just "toughen up" if they can't take it. Jeff Ross is the first to come to mind, but there was a laundry list. Louis CK actually was tweeting with regards to something else, and was unaware of the situation, and backed off of his support shortly afterward (which made me incredibly happy, I love Louis CK).
Actually, here's a good example of the rush of support from the comedy brotherhood.
