    If that's the point he's making, its mostly because he is saying he "deserves" to be in a better situation then Henry.

The point being made is that he can't even question why he's alone without someone in the comments bringing up whether he "deserves" to be or not. I would observe that he brings up his three examples (the black man struggling to get by, the male feminist, the serial wife-beater) to argue that "deserve" has nothing to do with it, and that the discourse of the internet has devolved to the point where the question can't even be asked without blame and judgement being injected into the discussion.
