Baby, Honey, and Sweetheart

Did you have something to add to the thread, Baby?

If a supervisor of mine cannot learn and use my proper name, he sees me as an object, not an individual. He doesn't respect me or my contribution so I can't respect him either. I'm outta there.

Some women like it from anywhere they can get it.

Some even go on online forums and include those terms in user IDs.

Same thing.

If a supervisor of mine cannot learn and use my proper name, s/he sees me as an object, not an individual. S/he doesn't respect me or my contribution so I can't respect him/her either. I'm outta there.

If you don't like to be called those things, let it be known. Don't hold you tounge, tell them calmly and politely "I do not like beig called those names..." and tell them something you think would be more appropriate to call you.

And 9 times out of 10 that is simply the way that person talks, me and my wife call all manner of people by those names, its just how we talk. Make sure to consider mutiple possibilities, and listen to the tone of the persons voice and the way their bodies move and the way they act around you. There are many tell tales that will let you know if they mean something in a sexual manner.

If you don't like it, let them know in a polite way

 

Yea baby, I have something to say, fox.

I might have to dictate some policy to you.
Oh, obviously, I am not your supervisor.


Yea, some woman will accept whatever for advancement.

As we both know, others will toss it out there in that way whether in forums or work.

Perhaps it is degrading to some, but it is a language that looks for those that are receptive.

 

what? not complaining when someone at works calls you hun is sucking up for an advancement?

 

And in that respect, makes this thread rather amusing, no?

 

Oh, yea woman.

Seems some want it insofar as they do not.

If it is of service, then so be it.

If not, then it is a problem.

As you know, I respect your consistent logic and of course you operate logically.

 

Love your name here BTW C.

It is getting close to that.

 

I dont roam in these places.

 

in what places?

 

I could never call people baby, babe, hun, whatever. I don't feel comfortable.
I have had a lot of women call me hun or sweetie, and I even find that a bit odd.
I think those ppl have a tendency to call everyone that though, and it's just something they do. I personally don't find it any big deal, but it's not something I could do.
As far as a man calling me baby or babe, I would think he is becoming a little to personal with me considering those are names my B/f calls me.

 

I'd probably wouldn't be comfortable with my boss calling me "baby", but I wouldn't mind if the other female manager did. I guess it just depends on what the word means to the individual being called by it. *interesting*

 

none of them

 

I don't think there is anything wrong with any of those terms nor do I consider them a form of sexual harassment BUT, under certain circumstances these terms can be condescending, for example calling a woman honey or baby in a formal business situation.

 

I call people honey, hun, babe, baby, sweetheart etc regardless of sex.

I also call them other TOE in my own language.

"Buffy" was the only one who complained and with him, I was just being familiar. [And lazy]
