Older women call me sweetie all the time

[UndertheOcean]

3. For some people, in some situations, it is.

And yes, for other people, it's no big deal.

Thanks for your concern, but for me, if someone I like, or a waitperson in a restaurant, etc., calls me 'sweetie', I'm not going to napalm them or anything.

For the people who call me that that I DON'T accept, I'll let them know in my own way.

I don't need anyone else telling me who or what is acceptable.

If you do, I'm sorry for you, because you are buying into the "EVERYONE IS AGAINST WOMEN" false meme.

Thank you, and good bye.
