Here's a quote:
"Desperate, lonely, cut off from the human community which in many cases has ceased to exist, under the sentence of violent death, wracked by desires for intimacy that they do not know how to fulfill, at the same time tormented by the presence of women, men turn to logic."

It also, IIRC, contains the following argument (this argument is somewhere in the bullshit "feminist logic" literature, but maybe not in WoP):
