I agree that he should have corrected his mistake. However, I don’t think the real log is exactly proof that women are just as looks obsessed as men as far as beauty. The guy looks kind of frog-like (not ugly like a frog, but with that froggish quality all men under a certain age have) except for a pretty strong brow, which most relatively masculine men have. If he behaved overly sensitive, I don’t think he’d have gotten that far.

A mistake detractors often make is in taking things to extremes. The CH writer(s) don’t ever say that looks don’t matter at all for men or that looks are everything for women, just that they don’t mitigate squeamishness in men and can cause blindness to hostility in women.

Unfortunately a mistake some supposed tellers of great truths make when they start to form ideologies rather than worldviews, is to ignore or attempt to stamp down by a sort of force, alternative views, and cover their mistakes or missteps rather than exposing them and learning from them. I hope that even if he (or they) doesn’t address this, he learns from it and acts accordingly.
