I'd rather be called ma'am than a lot of things. I didn't grow up in the South but I did live there while in the military and out. Children are taught sir and ma'am as terms of respect as hundreds have already said. What a goofy world. Somewhere along the line being called ma'am became a degrading term?
I don't know who Senator Boxer is. I thought for some reason this thread, with so many responses, included a joke, so I finally looked at it.
Had he called her "honey" I could see a correction would be needed.
Call me ma'am. I'm sure I deserve it. (That's ma'am not puttana ;) )
