There's often a difference between why people do things, and why they say they do things. Often they themselves aren't aware of why they really do things.

There is a certain risk that women could find your statement offensive.

Why women in particular? It seems to me that statement can apply to men, too, including "finding that offensive."

Plus, whether someone finds something offensive doesn't tell us whether the thing is true or false.

Which is of course unrelated to whether it's true.

it applies to men too. when I was in college it was not uncommon for men to take lower level women's studies courses with a certain agenda.
