Your icon is made of win! Especially in this context!
It has for some odd reason become my usual posting-about_Whedonesque idon... ;) The icon itself is from shinyshinybaum's batch of icons with random quotes by James Marsters, the master of weird non-sequiturs :D
It was the blatantly patronizing way he said it, like as a man--a straight man--he was above such stupid, destructive things, that those are the realm of stupid women and stupid gay men.
To me pretty much all anti-shipping talk sounds like that, though it might be just because I used to be (and still am) active in the 'boy' side of fandom before coming to the 'girl' side of Livejournal and fanfiction, so I'm used to anti-shipping always coming coupled with the attitude that shipping and fanfiction are silly wimminz things and /real/ (men) fans don't do it.
I don't know that I agreed with him before anything that because I've never particularly paid attention to his other comments.
I've clashed with him couple of times over Dollhouse and S8 and he's always come across as really patronising (though less in a mansplaing way and more in a general 'bow before my greatness plebes' kind of a way).
