Primus, l thought this was very clever and funny. It never entered my head that it might be sexist.
I just saw it as friendly, cheeky banter!

Yes art, that was how it was intended, nobody ever took umbrage at it..I used to say that I was having trouble with my alphabet, not knowing what came after S, the person would inevitably say, T, to which I would reply, yes I’d love one....
You have to have a laugh otherwise what’s the point in life.?

That is cute . It was said tongue in cheek; not to be taken seriously.
