"misogynistic" seems like a somewhat problematic term to me to describe this Ladder Theory, because the proposition that "men are only interested in women to the extent they can fuck them" is hardly flattering to men, anymore than, "women only fuck rich men" is to women.
Anyway it's reductionist is what it is, pure and simple. I've met plenty of people who are like he describes--I'm sure we all have. But I've met plenty who aren't. I just had lunch this past Thursday with a former work colleague who happens to be female and I can categorically say I'm not interested in having sex with her and she's damn sure not interested in my money (or if she is she's deluded about how much I have!). I'd say it's helpful for each of us to know someone else who is on somewhat the same professional path (albeit at different places) to compare notes, strategize, give a bit of advice, and pass along news & job tidbits. I don't give a damn what gender that person is.
Does that mean I never walk down the street, see an attractive woman, and think, "Ummm... yeah"? Of course not. But it's not my sole criterion for interacting with women.
You've heard the saying, when you have a hammer, everything's a nail? Well this guy has a brush, it's broad, and he's painting.
IMHO.
