It's certainly distasteful. I'm not one to jump on the labeling everything sexism boat, but that is certainly not the kind of tweet that would make me want to follow him.
It seems a lot of people around here cannot see the difference between wild funny hyberbole and snide remarks.
This should be a problem on those people's end, not a problem for the rest of us.
Point-in-case: if I was to be offended everytime people was disrespectful about my views around here and in certain other forums it would be a full time job. Instead I ignore it (since its offtopic anyway, or laugh at it because it can be funny even if I'm on the receiving end.)
