How a man can respond:

  1. I'm sorry, please continue.
  2. My apologies
  3. Sorry for describe the offence
  4. My apologies
  5. My apologies
  6. respect they don't need assistance
  7. walk away
  8. I'm sorry, What is it that is making you uncomfortable so I can correct this behaviour?
  9. I'm sorry, So to clarify you were saying * repeat back what they said to show you were listening, follow up with direct reply*
  10. I'm sorry for X
  11. step back
  12. My apologies, correct language

In Canada, offering apologies and correcting behaviour even if you think you have done nothing wrong is not seen as a weakness.
