    Sure? I’d do it all day. It wouldn’t bother me on the giving or receiving end. it’s a word with a definition and as long as it applies to the situation/male I’m speaking with it’ll be business as usual. In fact, I’ll use it to address every single male I encounter for the next 24 hours, in and out of work. That’s how confident I am that nobody, that is male would bat an eye or care.

    What about the term ladies…is that ‘socially acceptable’. It’s got sexual connotations like ladies of the night. Which is another way of sayings street whore. Should that be shunned too? Perhaps we should just abolish English or even language altogether for fear that someone gets offended.

    I really do not understand these weird feelings people put on things, then expect the world to ensure they follow some rule of feelings. It’s absurd.
