I read the remark as a cynical retort against the idea of the One True Love, which would make the implication you point out hyperbole, not misogyny.

Barring that interpretation, though, I'll grant that's the worse one.

One can reject the "One True Love" idea without thinking that the members of the relevant sex(es) are pretty much all alike. cf. the excellent Tim Minchin.

That I'll grant you. Minchin > Shaw, here.
