That doesn't make any sense.

I'm a real bloke. Not only will I not look at women's football, I won't look at women full stop. I resist the urge to look at them by staring intently at blokes whenever I am in public. Pwoper geezer me.

Is there such thing as a true "bloke"? I know quite a few men who would be seen as the archetypal bloke but have some pass times some may regard as not very blokey. Look at Geoff Capes, could you get more blokey than him? Yet his major hobby is keeping small birds like Love Birds. Does that...

I'm far from a nice guy. I'm mostly a bit of a ****. However, I do recognise ill thought out, patronising drivel. Like your post.

It's not "offence on others behalf" , it acknowledging why someone might take offence. Two totally different things. A lazy dismissal too often trotted out "ooh, why so offended on someone else's behalf". It's called empathy and the world could do with a lot more of it.

That is rather patronising.
