Oooh matron!!!

..yeah totally, it was right to call him out on it...otherwise it would be setting different standards of saying it’s okay for him to do it and insult but not okay for her to call him out on the insult... which would be completely wrong ...it’s so easy to say ‘it was a joke’, type thing...when that ‘joke’ was realised to be in poor and inappropriate taste, as this was...that seems to be the current vogue for many things, I feel...but it’s no ‘joke’ when we think about some very real legislations regarding abortion and how females are still not considered equal I’m some societies...it isn’t a feminist concern, or shouldn’t be...it’s surely a humanist concern...why would anyone not want any female in their life to be in any way, considered equal but rather, ‘lesser’ than any male...?...females and males are equally achieving and that should be celebrated ...I’m assuming also that this is a young male of a similar-ish age to her...so as Kizzy has said, not someone of a 1970 mindset and era, either... in so many ways the world seems to be regressing, sadly....
