Hold on a moment...
... so you are all married to men who never, ever say/think anything that is even slightly non PC?
You have all married men who never, ever think about stereotypes, good or bad?
You have all married men who never ever act, or have ever acted, in a remotely blokish manner?
Well I think I disbelieve you! You see I didn't say many of us had married men just like Clarkson, I said many if us will be married to men who act a bit like his telly persona, from time to time. I am honest enough to say that mine does. I understand why he does and I understand that it this thinking is something he recognises as something that needs to be questioned. He does question it, that is why he is occasionally embarrassed by himself, without any need for finger pointing etc.
He was brought up in a family that was very working class, very male oriented, women worked in the home, kept house and kids etc. Foreigners were referred to in words we no longer use, including the Fuzzy Wuzzies (as they haven't been mentioned yet). His grandparents loomed large in his childhood and his grand dad was a very Victorian man. I can't imagine that my DH is the only husband here with a similar background.
My point was that despite his early upbringing my DH fully recognises when he has a knee jerk reaction, and makes that mental adjustment. He doesn't deny his 'wrong thinking', he adapts and learns from it.
That, in my opinion, makes him a far more honest man than any of a similar age who insists he never, ever has such thoughts.
If you wish to see your menfolk as paragons of PCness, fair enough, But have the courtesy to read what I actually said rather than leap on the soundbite!
