HUMOR, HUMOR! I think the author of said bullcrap was trying to be funny and exaggerated with all get-out to help inject said funny.
emm, i actually think that (sadly) the author was pretty serious about it. Part of the reason that it cannot be taken seriously, however, apart from the rampant platitudes, is that the author's tone basically says "it is this way because I said so, and if you don't believe it, then you are proving my point" or more succinctly, "if you believe me then you think I'm right, and if you don't believe me then you prove I'm right." I am happy to say that i have had the pleasure of many great women throughout my life without having to resort to being a shallow douchebag.
