The guy lost me when linked home-cooked food with misogyny.

"Sugar is good, even though it's high in calories yet doesn't make you feel any fuller, because you need calories to live" seems like an odd claim too, given that we don't live in a society where most people are suffering from insufficient caloric intake.

Aren't keto diets about making you more satiated and not about nutrition? I thought I've read that people have done a better job losing weight on such diets.

Most anything I've read most people's "stats" (cholesterol, blood pressure) improve once on a keto diet.

That's a social issue/argument. Does it make his scientific claims invalid?

Well it does not seem to me that he's making any scientific claims, just opinionated claims. Which is his right, just as much as it's might right to voice my own opinionated claims as a eater of food.
