Mick Boris' comment was not in the context you listed there.
If your wife said that then maybe it is time to exit the relationship unless it is so good that its just a little banter. I do not see Boris' comment as an outrage against women at all.
What it may do though is set the ball rolling for real men and women to shun the dipsticks that are offended by a compliment. Is it to cover up the fact that many people seem to go out of their way these days to look unattractive to the opposite sex? GrossTatts, bolts and bulldog haircuts don't appeal to me on a woman, surely it is my right to be just as offended (not that I am) as the numpties that are offended by compliments. Then where will we end up? ....continuing to argue over immaterial rubbish that does little to provide equity throughout our existence. It is obvious the west has reached its zenith when people are looking for things to get outraged about. It does make it easy though to write of the 'tards that carry on with this stuff.
