>Yes, very California bubble to think that women are equal and not like children or mentally handicapped
He doesn't say that women are not equal. If you read the particular article the line is from, he makes a totally unrelated argument in that line and in that comparison: that men don't attempt to argue with women because they're emotional/unreasonable in arguments.
And to translate casual talk for those that have to read everything literally, he means that some men, some of the time, don't attempt to argue with women because some women are emotional/unreasonable in some arguments. (That is, a seemingly absolute statement in a casual phrasing - not e.g. in some logical notation - doesn't translate to "absolute everybody/all the time/100%", but usually to some or at worse, most).
