I think it goes a little further than that.They are, in his mind, attractive. Therefore Bob wants to fuck them. When they refuse to do that he makes misogynistic remarks about them, because they're right-wingers and so, in his mind, calling them ugly sluts is perfectly fine.
In the cheesy old stories, the ones good feminists like Bob decry, there's always the woman who comes from the tribe of evil. You know, the mad scientist's beautiful daughter, stuff like that. The woman usually falls in love with the hero and ultimately helps him, turning against her evil father/tribe/country/etc. The power of Flash Gordon or Tarzan of the Apes sways her to the side of good.
We've established that Bob considers himself the ultra-manly hero of his narrative (all his talk about his marksmanship, survival skills, etc.). By all the laws of pop culture storytelling, beautiful conservative women ought to be throwing over their evil tribe to join with him instead. His charisma, intelligence, and mighty thews (OK, I just threw up in my mouth a little) should be enticing them out of their wicked ways. Yet ... it's not working.
Every conservative woman, every woman who continues to be "evil," is a rejection of the narrative. The existence of beautiful conservative women particularly so. Is it that they're not evil? Impossible! Can it be that Bob isn't enticing enough? Never!
So in order to preserve the narrative, these women can't actually be beautiful or worthy in any way ... Hence this Disney-gorged sack of rejected sausage meat talking shit about women way, way out of his league.
If it were anyone else, I wouldn't entertain this theory. But Bob "console wars gave me PTSD" Chipman, who's still pissed about the moon wheat and robot bodies that Epcot promised him? Yeah, I think it's a valid theory.
