Do the boring taxonomy thing: write "Yes, this type of clothing is called a skirt, this type of skirt is called a kilt. Kilts are worn by either men or women. "

And then comes the fun part: ask "Did you mean anything by the skirt comment?"

And now you're into the chess game of life: what can they answer? Are they going to offend you directly? Are they going to offend women generally? Too easy.

And if it gets too rude, boom, off your list of friends. I show you what poke means, ha.
