> On one hand, I want to take offense to this remark. It _is_ pretty insulting, and tacking “no offense” onto the front of a racist, sexist remark doesn’t make it any less insulting. You’re putting words in my mouth, you’re accusing me of horrible things, and you’re dead wrong on every count.

I don’t see you personally being accused of horrible things, and the fact that you yourself are nice does not in any way serve as evidence as to the make-up of other women. “You insult them, therefore you _must_ also be insulting me directly!” is something I have seen many times before, and is something I have rejected many times before.
