    You may have missed the sort of “inversion” from the irony in the initial comment. The monitoring of the CCP and the love of a woman both have innate levels of “goodness”, and one is very clearly well above the other. The initial comment is funny because it flips that apparent heirarchy on its head. The reply then asserts that, in fact, the two are comparable in “goodness”, which moves the love of a woman “up” towards the “goodness” of the CCP. More simply, saying “You’ve clearly never been married” here implies that, in fact, the love of a woman can compare to the monitoring and scoring of the Chinese government. This is a comparison which paints the love of a woman in a bad light.

    I have no idea if this comment makes sense, and may need a diagram.
