He used the strip club as an example to "further illustrate the point", but the strip club experience itself is not his point, it's just an example of his point. His point being what I quoted and which was said prior to the strip club example. He also said this:
“I am guilty,” he said. “I believed, simply because I was a man, that I was more valuable than my wife and the other women in my life.”
