I have to tell you...my strong-willed mother would have washed out my brother's mouth with soap if he had been so insulting to women!
My very strong-willed mother might have uttered either of those phrases.
One can respect women without having to never utter a critical word about anyone belonging to that gender. Heck, he'd be accused of pandering if he did.

Have you ever been to a bingo hall in an old mill town on a Friday night? It is quite an interesting experience - there was always plenty of smoke, at my height of 5' 6" I towered over nearly everyone, and the noise level of gossip and chatter could have fooled a casual observer into thinking the bingo was not taken very seriously! Woe be unto thee who made that mistake!
