5/17/14 MESSAGE to KFI (640am LA) re LADY DJ CALLING DAVE CRUZ "SWEETIE" & to all women who call grown men, other than their own boyfriends or husbands, "sweetie" ,
"honey" et al. ,shame on u: ...I happened to be listening to the radio a few days ago & the two DJ's (one male,one female) were talking to dave cruz who was at the scene of one of the san diego wildfires. At the end of the conversation, the lady DJ said "Thanks Sweetie" to dave as if she were talking to her husband or boyfriend. It made me cringe. And the male DJ also apparently found it embarrassing, politely commenting that it's not professional. It's not only not professional,it is emasculating to a grown man to be called "sweetie" or "dear" or honey" et al by a lady in almost any public interaction,including by grocery store clerks at the end of a sale.And in most cases it is NOT just habit, nor a casual normal term of endearment,it is deliberately chosen to marginalize a grown man. Perhaps there's some sort of anger in the woman who feels it necessary to try to humiliate a man in such a way, I don't know,but it really shouldn't be tolerated. I hope the station manager caught this & addresses it properly.
