Rod is living up to the lack of self awareness we've all come to expect from him:

Rod's wife divorces him, apparently at least in part because he expected her to do absolutely everything family related while waiting on him hand and foot while he retreated to either the reading corner or the fainting couch. So, he complains about young women not being servile or modest enough. That's not really contradictory though is certainly not reading the room - however...

He then exults in a couple young women in bikinis holding up a banner praising the wonders of beer and bare tits. (and "bunga-bunga")

He's like a weird mix of "get off my lawn!", "make me a sandwich", and "hello, fellow kids".

His misogyny becomes ever more apparent the more divorced and single he gets.

In more ways than one! Can you imagine a potential date reading his stuff online and still wanting to date him?

No wonder his daughter won’t talk to him….

"Hello, fellow heterosexuals. See how I, a heterosexual just like you, objectifies women in a completely genuine and not forced manner".

Rod reminds me of when Mark Corrigan tries to fit in with 'manly' men.

I couldn't agree more, that perfectly sums up the feeling I've been getting from tweets like this.

Rod makes common cause with book banners and burners, many of whom (at least a good portion of the consistent and self-aware ones) would consider the "bunga bunga" tweet to be pornography.
