WORDS

Honey, Sweetheart, Baby, Mamacita, Lady, Woman, Ho, Whore, Bitch.

What's appropriate and what isn't?


I've been having problems with men boys at work, who seem to think it's okay to joke and call me Ho and Whore.
The final straw was yesterday when as I was alone in a small linen closet with two other guys, and another guy walks in and immediately makes a comment about gang banging. I walked out, and went straight to my manager and told him about the comment. The kid comes and apologizes and says he didn't mean anything by it. I stare at him and tell him that comments like that are almost never appropriate unless you are about to watch some crazy porn. Meanwhile, someone in the background is talking about how you can say somethings to some people, and others you have to watch your words. I literally just want to punch everyone.



There is a fine line between flirty and sexual harassment. Is it my fault because I wear eyeliner and curl my hair and like to smile sweetly? Of fucking course not. 



Men just need to learn some manners.
When in doubt on what to call a woman, her name will usually do just fine.

It should be noted that while in a relationship my partner can call me lots of things depending on the context ;)
