Simpler explanations sometimes are the more correct one.

Didn't sympathize with his posting at all, though. Not because I think
he was being manipulative or any of the other things you said, but
because he ridiculously stereotypes certain women in a fashion not
dissimilar to what you're doing.

  Stereotypes are not *always* wrong. There *are* people who fit perfectly
into even the most outlandish stereotypes.
