I'm sorry for any offense with the quote. It was the quickest and simplest way I could think of to illustrate the point (although apparently that didn't work...). It wasn't meant to say that only this particular situation exists.

Heh, no problem. When I say "take offense", I mean it in the lightest way possible. I am not fuming over it or holding it against you or anyone. Maybe "take exception" would have been a better way to say it.
And I definitely don't want to give the impression that any level of sexism should be tolerated against women just because men face some of the same issues. If anything, I wish that more men would push back against it like women do.
