I agree John, am not sexist or racist or any other ist.
I do recall however when I was an apprentice I had three bus journeys each way and the number of times I was shoulder charged, bumped or elbowed out of the way by women eager to get on as there was standing room only, so it did go someway to my learning to be tolerant
