I agree that the comment was strongly and perhaps not carefully worded but it seems this was not just a "fork in the eyes" comment", see http://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2014/sam_altmans_sexism_st... where yummyfajitas summarizes some good points.

You can criticize the format and language of the comment all you want but implying things like "I think you're too smart to believe in BS like this" is condescending.
