I was recently listening to a podcast where a female guest e-mailed in a question about how to deal with colleagues who keep calling her pet names (“honey”, “darling” “hun” “sweetheart”). This reminded me of that podcast because these are little things that seem harmless, but can become death by a million papercuts over time.
