What do you think of women being called names?

I don't like it and women should not accept it. It's sad that women are so accepting of it, they refer to themselves as bitches. Any person who refers to women in those other terms should be considered bottom feeders who have no respect for womanhood. My son once posted a meme on Facebook. On one side was a (female) dog, on the other was a woman. Under the dog it said "This is a bitch" and under the woman it said "This is a woman". Someone call me out of my name like that he might get some of The Queen's medicine. If you don't want to watch the whole video check from 1:00 minute to 1:44.

 
Well now @Packerjohn & @horseless carriage we must keep in mind that many of the women today don't like being called ma'am. I am not one of those women. LOL!

I don't mind being called love. I prefer that over some of the alternatives. I know some folks mean well and frankly anymore that's all I can ask for. If they're doing it with the right heart I find it difficult to fault them. :)

I think that "ma'am" is often used in movies that feature the deep south (Georgia, Alabama, Texas). It's also pretty common in western movies. eg: Gunsmoke, etc. I never considered it disrespectful to women but these days when everyone is offended about everything, the sky is the limit. "Love" is very common in the UK. My wife came from Cornwall and I have traveled around the UK often. It sounds strange to a Canadian like me but you just get used to it. For example, a woman lines up at a butcher shop and when it becomes her turn, the butcher might say something like, "What can I get you, love?" I consider it very British and I never thought that it was ever negative. It just a form of address. Sure beats, someone in North America saying, "HEY, YOU WITH THE STUPID LOOKIN' GLASSES!"

Exactly. I'm pretty much ok with just about everything. As long as it's respectful.
 
When I visited Cornwall, I found that use of "Luv" by shopkeepers delightful. They just automatically said it to every customer: "What can I do for you, luv?" It was charming, and more than once I thought, "I wish they used that term in the U.S." How could anyone take offense at that?
 
As for the other names mentioned on here...I'm no saint. I've called people the b word in the privacy of my own home. But I do here it a lot out in public. The other names not so much.

Well we all have to have names and there are ladies on this forum, just to name a few, we call them, Ruthanne, Pinky and Holly, and what lovely names they are too, what's the problem? ;):)

And, we have other ladies too, to mention just a few more, Rose and Lew and Micka, all with lovely names, so I ask again, what's the problem. ;);)

It best suit them

Folks, wimin or min, seem to earn what they're called


I've called my wife 'Babe' for 52 years

About 30 years ago, an ol' coot asked me if I thought my wife was a blue ox
Had to think about that

Hell, I've called all my girlfriends 'Babe'
(she's still my girlfriend)

Most wimin I like, I call 'fine lady'
Acquaintances, I don't call anything
'You' comes to mind

@OneEyedDiva Thanks for posting the Queen Latifah video. I haven't watched it in ages. I've always liked her. I think she's beautiful and enjoy her acting career.

You're welcome. I love The Queen too. I joke with my son that she should have been my DIL. LOL He met her at a Hip Hop party decades ago and they took a picture together. She was well known in the Hip Hop community at the time but hadn't hit it big yet. He had a crush on her for awhile. We're very proud of her because she's a Jersey Girl and I agree with you...she's beautiful. Have you watched her new show The Equalizer?

I want to watch Equalizer but I'm confused as to what channel it's on. They advertise on PlutoTV but I don't get the impression it will be on there.
 
Oh dear, I was married twice for a total of 44 years. I hate to admit it but I used to call my last wife by a name. It was "Sweetie." I hope she didn't mind? She was a wonderful wife because she was always, sweet, kind, gentle, loved walking with me while holding hands and dreaming up new recipes for me that I might like. I think I was pretty lucky for having known "Sweetie."
