[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like if he uses it that much and not just as a greeting it would seem like he's trying to pigeonhole you somehow. [/quote]

OP here- that is exactly how it feels. Pigeonholing- it's the excessive use that gets me. And yes, it's only mildly sexist feeling, but it's sexist feeling nevertheless.[/quote]

OP, I don't know how old you are, but you speak as though you are young, inexperienced and a tad entitled. Well, here's a piece of advice from someone who has been in the work world longer than you have (most likely) and is more successful than you are currently (I guarantee it):

Making a big deal out of something in the workplace because of your "feelings" is almost always a big mistake. There is nothing factually wrong, nor maliciously intended, about what he is saying, their is only your "feeling" of sexism, however you choose to define that.

Get over it. Everyone is not like you, nor chooses words in the way that you do. [/quote]
