You should read notacoward’s profile. I think you are the type of person he or she is talking about. If OP is offended by being called Sir then let them say so.

Why are you passing judgement on behalf of someone else?
- hkyeti 8y agoWas the sir really necessary? Nothing in the comment or profile indicates gender, regardless of what the reality is. And if people keep making this assumption then how do female members who statistically encounter this error far more often feel like this community is equally welcoming of them.
- wil421 8y agoI’m from the South so Sir and Ma’am were ingrained in me since I learned to speak. If OP was female they could easily correct the other poster. Thanks for you compliment I’m a female so it would be ma’am. Edit: I removed a potion of my comment. Your post history gives me the feeling you are pushing your own agenda here.
- hkyeti 8y agoI have no agenda other than hoping our community would become more welcoming. As context, my startup makes an app that is mostly used by women, which has helped me learn to see things from a different point of view. And I've worked with and hired many talented female engineers and designers who have all mentioned about how male focused as a whole our industry still is. I take them at their word.
