This is a lot of mansplaining my experience and tone policing how I am meant to react to it. If you read through the many comments, you will see that I did handle this directly with the person, and it was not well-received. Additionally, this isn't the first time I've had this term directed at me or heard it directed toward other women. I don't personally socialize with people who use degrading language, and the length of time I've been single is absolutely irrelevant. If you're unable to figure out how men and women can communicate without objectifying one another, it's probably best that you don't continue to attempt it. Basic human decency would be a good starting point.
