A few days ago I was waiting for the metro. There was this woman next to me on the platform, late 20s early 30s. When the tube arrives, we both enter it through different sets of door, and both go to the bit between the door where the seats are. There was only 1 seat free. Being a man, I was obviously quicker than her in getting there, because men are genetically superior, it's a well known fact, I'd ask you to read up on it but can women read? Probably not.
Anyway, long story short, when I arrive at the spare seat a whole second before her, I ask her "Do you wanna seat down?", out of genuine politeness. Being a man, I'm quite fit naturally so I really don't mind standing up for a few stops. She looks at me and says "Are you being sexist?" I have to say it really took me aback as the usual response to this question "Yes, if you dont mind, what what what old chap?".
I wasn't sure what to say or do, so I kinda looked down slightly embarrassed and said "no...". I sat down on the seat, and felt a bit guilty.
Was I being sexist in offering her that seat? If I was, was it wrong nonetheless?
I thought about it, and I guess I should've replied something along the lines of "I wasn't being sexist, I was just being polite you stupid bitch" but I wasn't quick enough.
