Sexism/feminism: what's your reaction to this song?

(August 26, 2016 at 11:55 pm)Whateverist Wrote: I'd say calling a lady "honey" isn't a thing you can take for granted as being welcome.  I know women for whom it is welcome from some of us and not from others.  If you don't know where you stand and guess wrong you might give offense.  Doesn't make her wrong.  She is just a separate person from you with her own expectations and interpretations.  Not every woman wants constant reassurance that you find her mate-able.

Well I said not every man thinks the same way but most of the time they aren't constantly reassuring the ladies. If someone gets repetitive then they're the weird minority but from this song it seems like theirs some 3rd wave feminism going on.

I can't be sure but it's what it seems like and I can't ask her irl so I have to judge the video superficially.

I understand she's different but if she's gonna take the time to write about this it probably means that...

1) She gets catcalled very often in an offensive manner (unlikely, men aren't all like that. Atleast the majority.)
or
2) She's biased in someway or another.
or lastly
3) She interprets things like "Good morning honey." in an offensive manner mostly.

But I don't know these are my suggestions and I am open to enlightenment.

And it's kind of a form of courtesy to say "honey" in some situations.
Not to waitresses or things of such but maybe if you see some one on the street just complement them and go on with your day and make her smile.

Otherwise it is rude, but it's not common.
Women do the same to. Just not as often, but more... Effectively per se.
