How then is not also sexist for Women to be like that towards men that they don't know.
If I took offence at the age of 21 and ven when I was much younger, at the older Women who have used such terms to me, I would likely be offended everytime I went to my local shop, store or even a lot of the time when I was at Uni too.
How can it be sexist for Sam to use the terms to a Woman he hasn't met but it not be the case if a Woman does so to a Man.
If you think they don't, I can tell you they do but I can't see a reason for any offence to be taken.
Were he calling her names or swearing at her, that would be a different issue altogether.
