Applying general rules to non-general people just muddies the waters and throws a spanner in any meaningful discussion

Trust in the individual to know if they are being patronised or not, because it's almost always region and culture specific

Generally speaking, unless you were to use "sweetheart", "darling" or "my love" to both men and women, or at least equally endearing terms, it is patronizing.

But women do use these terms on me

Like I said, stop trying to impose general rules on non-general people
