It's not condescending, I certainly didn't mean it to be.
Here's an example:
Bin men outside my house, clucking and whistling and doing that"cocky walk" thing to two young women walking past, the women ignore them and carry on their way. Once they have gone I go outside and explain to the bin men that I find their behaviour unacceptable.
What is the problem with that?
Nothing to do with "stepping in" or anything like that.
I did say I know what you're getting at I just think it was your wording... 'the female' just sounded wrong to me...semantics
you example there is fine as it doesn't directly involve the fem... the 3rd party it's when they're still there and you wade in that can cause problems
