Reply #25: I just think this is silliness

and a lot to do about nothing. calling someone Ma'am is not sexist, it is a sign of respect. I don't think he was being sexist or disrespectful by calling her ma'am. And I don't see a problem with her asking to be called "Senator", I just think she was rather condescending in her tone when she made the request. As if he had done something purposefully offensive.

But whatever, different strokes and all....
