    Lol this guy is shamelessly accepting your apology and dismissing any potential issues on behalf of someone else 😂

      The person has already apologized for an unintentional slight. What exactly is there left to do except accept it and move on?

      What are you expecting to accomplish by pushing on the issue?

        You don’t accept an apology on behalf of someone else implying it was unnecessary. It’s dishonest at best.

          It was an understandable faux pas in a public conversation. Not something personally offensive to a particular individual. Fucking chill.

            I called you out because it didn’t seem like a mistake. I answered your question calmly when you appeared to double down.

            My comment was mostly to show others that it was someone else accepting the apology.

              I said ‘no worries’ because in normal contexts, you’d be right in that there is no issue. But in gender discussions both sides aren’t accepting of commentary that switches focus to the other gender, but you may not know that if you don’t join in on them often.

              Obviously I can’t speak for the person they responded to, nor the people reading these messages for that matter, but I can try and be reasonable. What reasonable person is going to want to do anything other than bury the hatchet after an honest mistake?

              Edit: oh and sorry for getting a bit snippy with you.

                Ok. Fyi I have not be trying to be confrontational after my first response. I don’t think you need to provide further justification after you said it was a mistake. Personally I think the issue was settled with your admission. I don’t mean to berate you. I should have made that clearer on my second response.
