Social awkward person delivers socially awkward apology about finding it difficult to handle his social awkwardness.
Not sure about misogynist. It's not as if he's said they can't do science and their brains overheat. My reading of it was that he expressed, very badly, that he finds it difficult to manage his relationships with the women that he works with. That's not particularly surprising given he's socially awkward and, by extension, going to be emotionally isolated and needy. Obviously that's not going away just because journalists and a pitchfork wielding horde of social media band-waggon jumpers are holding him up for pillory. There's a bit of misogyny in there because, you know, he could not refer to his colleagues as girls.
Still, I'll not suggest any wrongdoing by journalists because they've definitely never pounced on a minor misstep by someone even vaguely successful so they can be dragged through the mud for a bit of a story. And, as everyone knows, a good social media lynching is a guaranteed cure for social awkwardness and poor emotional management. He'll emerge as a smooth-talking, socially well-adjusted, emotionally competent individual by the end of the week.
Sorry he got caught? Sorry he said something a bit daft in front of a bunch of cunts that can't resist a whipping-boy more like.
