I laugh at all his jokes, and I laughed at this one, but it all depednds on how you react to comedy. For me, when I laugh at a comedian it's not because I agree with everything he's saying, it's because he said it in a funny way that made me laugh.
Like for example, if you asked me to seriously break down what he was saying about divorce and gold digging whores, my written response would be similar to your written response in this thread. Condemning him for being sexist and not understanding that it goes both ways and all that. But because it's a comedy routine, I just judge it based on his delivery and ability to make something seem funny. Louis CK is really good at it, and this guy seems to be good, too.

Fair enough. Like I said, I shut it off after a couple minutes. He might be a funny guy, but the whole "Angry White Man" shtick isn't really my bag.
It really wasn't presented as entertainment here though. We've been told not to ignore "the message" and the "social commentary".
We've even been told that 95% of people would agree with him. That of course would include 95% of all women too. 95% of women believe there is an "epidemic of gold digging whores".
Some people seem to take his act seriously.
