Swinging Dick, yes he is
Maddox is Beavis and Butthead all grown up. I bet that was a huge influence for him growing up as a young 20-something watching MTV. The key difference is unlike the two young teenagers, Maddox can actually do something about his trash talk, and that must really empower him. You're a man now!
I can get a chuckle out of that stuff, but most of the time, I find the lame projections of masculinity towards women ("yea, I could totally have her whenver I want. She just looked at my crotch") about as moronic as you can get. How is that funny other than every man can relate to that trash talk? Having been an object of that trash talk, I mostly roll my eyes but this stuff maxes my tolerance; it celebrates arrested development in men.
As for his hypocritical views on women and minorities (eh, newsflash, women are recognized as minorities by business, the fed and institutions), for him to forget the several millenium of patriarchal-dominated societies where women are treated as mens' chattel, whores, told what to do with their bodies, obey men, get paid less, have the babies and raise them and are raped and battered is to show that Maddox is caught is some sort of bigotted universe where he has serious issues with women.
Notice he never mentioned his mother? Just daddy. Daddy was a MAN. Was his mother a whore? Madonna? Bitch? Aw, let's just blame the mom and celebrate the dad anyway; it's more fun that way.
