I think he's being too defensive. But saying what he said isn't a sign he's a misogynist, it's simply saying that he's aware some people take things like this that way. But I don't think, if that video is representative of his work, that he needs to be worrying about that.
What I saw was something that captured the many different, complex and contradictory things held in a suspension in your head when you're in love. He said good and bad things, about her and about himself, and ultimately the sense was not a negative one. It was honest, direct, not trying to hammer it into an overall framework, and rather sweet. I think that sense is best summed up in the one where he says, "I'm kind of a jerk" and she says, "I know, it's cool." That's it right there. I liked it.
