[After a brisk nap]

I agree that the way he put his comments about writing female characters wasn't great. The thing is, I think he would be the first to agree with pretty much every point you make. He seems like a pretty reasonable guy, and I'm sure he'd admit that there have been some great, not-overly-macho male characters in other games. (Though Phoenix Wright and Gabriel Knight? Really?)

I was more struck by the (to me obviously deluded) idea that the story of Dreamfall is "better" and "more mature" than TLJ's because it can be described in a flowchart, and because they jammed every character's development into the same template. 'Cause that didn't seem at all forced. Nuh-uh!
