Mixed-gender group hanging out. A guy turns to the woman on his right and insults another guy in the group by saying to her, "He's worse than a woman," and rolls his eyes. The woman was upset about the insult which she thought puts down women as well as the guy he was intending to insult. The guy tells her to lighten up, she doesn't have a sense of humor.
Is the guy a jerk? Or is the woman overly sensitive? What say you, c-d?

Both.
The comment was insulting, but no one should ever take the ramblings of people who have been drinking seriously.

The guy is a jerk and a lost cause. If he is in competition with other men in the group and is trying to belittle his competition in such way, it simply means that he is insecure and finds himself inadequate. Very insensitive thing to say and it is insulting to everyone, including the man saying it.

worse in what way, playing baseball, using a urinal? philosophy? Little bit more detail...
I'd say he's a jerk but without knowing the entire conversation and situation I would still say he's a jerk. I would like to know what exactly he was referring to when he said that though. Worse than a woman in what way? Taking too long in the bathroom getting ready to go out somewhere, obsessing about all the new styles and shoes coming out for winter, wearing too much makeup, being jealous of someone else.
Knowing this might put things into a differet perspective but it is hard to say so without the specific I'd say he is still a jerk.

Without knowing the context, I'm going to dissent from everyone else (big suprise being the Dissenter) and say the girl may have been a little oversensitive. Probable that the guy was just extra loose (from alcohol most likely) and usually is pretty level headed. I would say nothing more than a poor excuse at a pun.
She shouldn't have taken it as an attack on women.
