I don't think she cares if _you're_ offended or not, she's asking nicely if
you'll stop because it does bother some people. Your feelings on the issue are
totally irrelevant, since you have no experience being constantly treated like
an object of someone's infantile desires, in the media, in the workplace, on
the bus or subway, _everywhere_.
It's called being polite and mature enough to put other people's feelings
before your own. Grow the hell up.
