Ah, pretty poorly worded sarcasm there.
Subtle sarcasm is the best sarcasm, IMHO.
Not in text. There are too few cues available to avoid Poe's law.
It's sarcasm, dumbass.

It's pretty poorly done sarcasm, as many others didn't believe it either, asshole.

Sarcasm means you're not supposed to believe it. You were right the first five times you read it; you should have stopped there. I don't see any way in which this sarcasm was done poorly.
What the hell? I had to read this over 6 times to make sure I was understanding it correctly.
"Women are sensitive, fragile, inferior creatures who require constant, vigilant protection from honorable men."
That right there ladies and gentlemen, is the thinking that permeates and sustains misogyny throughout our world.
I understand that the original poster had good intentions, but the way is high and his eyes are definitely upon the ground.
Women are not sensitive, fragil, or inferior. Please avoid false blanket statements like this.
