I asked my husband and he thinks it's clearly sexist and that any men who don't agree should get back to the seventies where they belong!

Is this not sexist itself?
My wife,Margaret,did not think it sexist at all.
Where should she get back to?
When discussing equality issues her favourite line was, I quote "I do not want equality with men,I much prefer being superior"

I asked my husband Kevin and she thought it was a bit homophobic. Which confused me a bit I can tell you.

Yes, this was my joke to attempt to demonstrate sexism to those who thought their wives opinion should represent the views of all women.

Don't tell anyone but I'm not even married!
 
Old or not the kitchen comment and the Dunne's mum/older woman comment were both unnecessary and inappropriate on a live afternoon sports broadcast, I like Alliss and I ain't pc or a liberal do gooder but there's no need for it and I'm sure Alliss knows it but he's of the R&A old boy cut, dragged into the 20th never mind the 21st century with attitudes to equality, especially relating to golf. Pretty harmless but he should know better imo.
Neither comment annoyed me as much as his go to much repeated phrase these days of "First you learn to hit it, then you learn to play".... Yawn.

I've never had a lady complain or refuse when:

> offered my seat on train/bus/underground
> stood back/aside to let a lady through a door before me
> held a door open
> complimented on how she looks/is dressed
> let a lady serve herself before me of food laid at the table
> offered to carry luggage/parcel up stairs
> offered to lift luggage/bags onto overhead racks (in train etc)
> let the lady go first if both arrive at bar at the same time

etc etc

Watch out for No 4.

I once told my secretary that she 'looked very smart today'.
She then asked me [with a disarming smile] if I was inferring that she did not look smart on other days.

Doon - when complimenting a lady on her looks/dress I am sure that you complete your compliment with an ...'as ever'
