If you substitute "partner" for "artist," I know this guy, and his general misanthropy applies to everyone, not just women. And once you've impressed him, he's great to be around. Plus, I think that he says stuff just to get a rise out of people, to be shocking, which artists can probably get away with (especially once they're established, and their paintings go for five digits or more) more than the general population.
