So the context appears to be that he was dismissing other women in the bay area in favor of the woman he was dating. Not an uncommon thing, but let's just say pretty much every other author I've read so far - man or woman - has done so more tastefully. And that isn't hard: There's a long list of established phrases along the lines of "others paled in comparison" that bring the same point across. Now I can't decide who is dumber. The people who are - I must assume for their benefit - unintentionally presenting that quote out of context trying to get the guy fired[1], or the guy who'd publish an autobiography containing such a poor choice of words. [1] Let's be honest. You probably don't have to take it out of context to hang the man.
