As a woman, let me say that I am not offended by such a lyric, nor would I expect a man to feel insulted or left out if I played 'The Irish Washerwoman'!
I'm with the attitude to hell with PC - It's how it was written! interpret it, or let others interpret it as they will
There are too many sensitive souls in this world to worry about upsetting anyone, can't please all the people all the time - so please yourself!
