Her behavior on this show is not part of her comedy routine so that excuse doesn't fly. And she's worried about what women will think of Arsenio? She might want to worry about her own reputation. She's not exactly setting the bar very high for women. She's classless.

Everything else you said is purely ad hominem which I doubt you understand.

Everything else you said is purely ad hominem which I doubt you understand.Considering that you didn't read any defense of Arsenio in my post, you might want to educate yourself on what constitutes an actual ad hominem, oh brilliant one. Word of advice, don't pretend to be intellectually superior if you're going to make a fool of yourself by employing commonly misused terminology.
Abusive ad hominem (also called personal abuse or personal attacks) usually involves insulting or belittling one's opponent in order to attack his claim or invalidate his argument, but can also involve pointing out true character flaws or actions that are irrelevant to the opponent's argument. This tactic is logically fallacious because insults and negative facts about the opponent's personal character have nothing to do with the logical merits of the opponent's arguments or assertions. However, verbal abuse in the absence of an argument is neither ad hominem nor a fallacy.[5]

He's just pointing out the hypocrisy of a woman (who hasn't done herself any favors on the show thus far) attempting to critique the way others will be viewed when she should probably be more concerned about her own image.
