Although I see nothing wrong with what he said common sense should have played a part and he should not have said it.

The fact that he apologised confirms this. You don't apologise unless you believe you have done something wrong.
Those in the MS church will defend him till the cows come home but an apology is an admittance of guilt.

He obviously can't talk his way out of it so he apologised. In others words "I was wrong to say it". Case closed.

He apologized to stop the bitching

Yeah, I know but that's a bit weak. I would have respected him more if he tried to explain what he meant (which I think maybe was not bad intent) rather than make a 100% u turn.

I am sure he doesn't care if I respect him or not but the fact that he didn't even try to defend himself but humbly apologised is even worst. He will always be the guy who apologised for remarks made to women.

But, that's just my two cents. Who cares? I have my own life to worry about.
