If I'm watching a sport for the first time and a situation comes up that I don't understand, I'm going to figure out how it works. Because I
want to understand it. In Euroland exists this (obv sexist) stereotype that "women just don't get offside". Not true at all, of course, but it stems from there not being nearly as many women as men who are interested enough to care about understanding it.
If you explain the offside rule in a concise and logical way, though, and a person still doesn't get it, then idgaf whether that person is male or female. That person is simply too stupid, and I wouldn't bother.
