I can&#x27;t really respond to this without knowing the actual content of the comment, and the context.<p>But if it was literally him saying something like &quot;what the fuck&quot; or whatever, then yes, I think she was not being reasonable. If she were to say &quot;I don&#x27;t like that kind of language&quot;, that&#x27;s fine, but to suggest <i>ladies</i> don&#x27;t like that kind of language is a big overgeneralization on her part.<p>I&#x27;m guessing it was a different kind of comment, though, given &quot;ribald&quot;. In which case it&#x27;s not just an issue of profanity anymore, and so her reaction may have been perfectly justified.
