I'm not someone who gets offended by much. So I don't, generally, have the mindset of why things like that are offensive.

I'm not suggesting that Ells gets offended 'easily' at all, I just wanted to understand the mindset of why that comment is offensive, that's all.

I'm not convinced it is that offensive, tbh, and probably a case of "offensive is in the eye of the beholder" but I don't think it takes an Einstein to work out why it would be seen as sexist. Which was my point

Which I can see, and like I say, if one was to be pernickety, the original statement could be seen as ageist..

I'm fascinated by peoples ways of thinking with various subjects.

Put it this way. If someone said Swindon were so bad on Saturday, it was like "Men against Darlos" you'd be offended.

I wouldn't want to see him lose his job for it though, but he obviously didn't.

Man the fuck up. Get a grip and don't concede. The standard response to social justice warriors is "You're offended? Well I don't care. Nobody died, so just fuck off"

That's the thing though, I genuinely wouldn't. Digs at me don't offend me, why would they? Someone's opinion of me isn't going to change my own opinion of me.

But you couldn't see how someone else might? Meh.

I can't be bothered to talk about this here though as I am way too tired and ill to be ridiculed. Someone post kittens.

I'm not ridiculing anyone, I'm simply asking a question because I don't have that mindset.

No, I can't see how it would offend anyone, that's why I asked. No offence intended whatsoever, just a general wondering. That's all.

I apologise to anyone if I've somehow been offensive, but I thought this may be a good platform to have an adult discussion about it.

No, you're totally fine, sorry. I don't mind talking about it generally, but I know I will get comments I can't really be bothered to deal with today - I've had about 2 hours sleep and spent most of my day in the hospital, so incapable of adult discussion! I wasn't trying to say you were a dick.
