You could look at this as wokeness run amok or as basic politeness. Even in 1985 would Alex be embarrassed after giving a clue to a contestant that basically said ‘the opposite sex doesn’t find you attractive’ when he/she is on national television and all his/her friends and family are watching? I think he would.

Would he apologize? I’m sure he would he was a classy guy.

Probably.

But, is there anyone of her age who doesn't know the rhyme, "Men don't make passes...?"

It's not about the opposite sex being unattractive, it's about a silly rhyme.

The blame-shaming is amazing.

The story wasn't preachy though. The "victim" seemed to take it in good spirit, and the perpetrators were just a little appropriately embarrassed.
