The second time they did it almost the entire table aggressively corrected them and I almost feel bad. Almost.

Ah, good ol' societal norms. They say public humiliation is many ppl's biggest fears. Hope they learned their lesson!

Yuck. Use proper pronouns, ppl. This woman is a "ma'am." On another note, we need gender-neutral honorifics.
-
Or just to stop using them entirely. They're unnecessary, disconcerting, and highly prone to misgendering or coming across as sexist.
-
Fair. Though we tend to want honorifics. I just think they shouldn't change based on gender.
-
Who wants them? Even w/o gender dynamics they often code class/racial/hierarchical expectations of who is expected to use them for whom.
-
The gendered aspect makes that even worse, because if you're "lower rank" you're expected to say sir/ma'am & risk misgendering by doing so.
-
The whole construct is a game of pitting one oppression against another.
