Eh, you guys are being a bit harsh on boobs. It was a classically melodramatic rant, and he sort of shoots himself in the foot when he feels the need to pile shit on 'whores', but he also hits on plenty of points. And all the personal jibes are kind of petty...

There is an unreasonable beauty standard held in place for women, and the bile that gets thrown at women who don't live up to it can be pretty remarkable at times. And a lot of women let this sort of bullshit really mess with them and their self esteem. Sure they have a choice not to, but when you're conditioned with this stuff from birth it's not so easy. It doesn't make me lose faith in humanity, but it's worth recognising the ways in which modern society is kind of shitty.

Plus, I will be a pedant and point out that anti-semitism refers specifically to jews, regardless of the other races that speak semitic languages.
