I didn't suggest you should assume he's in character: I said he might be or he might not be.
Accordingly, you shouldn't start plotting his murder (just yet).
Argue with him if you want but, if it's eating you up inside, it might be time to take a deep breath and assume he's just a wind-up merchant because, if you assume he's a dirty, low-down, no-good, sexist sonofafeckinbitch, you also have to assume your anger is exactly what he's trying to provoke - and he's won.
Deep breaths now.
And a cup of tea.

Why is it always the most lumpenly charmless men who feel the need to loudly voice the opinion that women are unfunny? I am sure a pyschiatrist could explain.

Having seen Lip Service that does not seem such a terrible fate.
In a thread titled "Female Comedians" with the question "does anyone find female comedians unfunny?"

As someone said on Twitter the other day:
Ever think, "I don't find women funny" might mean, "I don't think funny women will be impressed by me"?
