@ Holistic Star - I didn't find it patronizing at all (am a woman). It's colloquial I think (probably not the right word, but just that people in different areas have different terms that hold different meanings/levels of acceptability), not a dig at an entire gender. He may say his male friends are cool creatures as well.
What is is you are expressing by getting defensive about his word choice? (This is not meant to be inflamatory at all. It's a sincere question.)
I know that guys feel like a different species to me sometimes, but I don't think it in a degrading way.
