he hasn't yet figured out how to manage his own personality in conjunction with his professional relationships. I think his kind of personality needs more independence and less dependence on others. That's not a crime. But he just doesn't know how to deal with being dependent on others. He needs a format where he is as self-sufficient as possible and still reach a wide audience. His only crime is not realizing it and then getting angry about it.

It's not like he's a mysoginist.
