Funny, I just came upon a thread in which apparently femininst women are taking up the 'free to be promiscuous' banner, which you can see here (http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/52802964.html?thread=9029497236#t9029497236).
I think it's generally felt that men cannot but be promiscuous, or at least want to be, and that much of morality is meant to counterveil this doggy tendency. I don't know if it's insulting to men, or just picking at our weakness, and I think, in your sense, that he's not just insulting straight men, but all men, taking up the point you make about how he assumes that gay men don't want meaningful relationships.
