You do realize this isn't the 19th century any more right? Sexist views like that aren't a reflection on modern society.
There is absolutely nothing sexist in what he said. Not a jot. If you believe otherwise, go ahead and provide a cogent argument to explain why it's sexist.
Now, his statement may be out of touch with 21st century where women can go out and make a living for themselves and are less dependent on a partner for support. But most women would still prefer to have a partner as their combined incomes can provide better economic outcomes for their children. So the outcome is the same.
Marriage is a legal, economic and emotional bond. It is just as valid today as it was 100 years ago. What has changed is that people have no sense of dignity and honour any more, they are all living for their own selfish needs and desires.
