    If someone makes a comment like that as an intentional dark joke, not actually accepting the misogyny implied, one would likely be much more willing to explain that their joke was satire and clarify that they do not subscribe to that belief, I would think. Perhaps this person just poorly chose their audience for their joke.

    I think it is the misogynist who would theoretically have a hard time explaining the joke without outing themself.

    That said, I don’t know how often a bigot would be necessarily off put by this strategy since they probably think that their bigotry is justified.
