Is Blonde inherently sexist?

I've deleted my original quoted post now. You're right it could easily be read the wrong way. I guess your quote of the quote will remain, but the context is better now as he can see what the intention was.

Some things offend without us intending it, Alan.....

I've never understood why people see the need to write 'sorry if I've offended anyone' after they've posted something.

Either they didn't set out to offend anyone, in which case if someone does take offence then it's that person that has the issue, not the poster. Or if they did set out to offend then they're not going to be sorry if someone takes offence.

It's the same reason people use emoticons. So much of the tone is lost in the written word. You can unintentionally offend. If I say something not intending to offend that someone takes offence from I am still sorry I made them feel like that. Even if I didn't mean to.

"For the avoidance of doubt" is the same - any ambiguity is entirely the fault of the writer, but he blames the stupid reader for any possible misinterpretation.
