  1. There are other options though. I tend to be polite and positive around people, and I largely ignore the (sub-)culture of polarized views of random people in real life or online, and I also ignore rigid views of what men & women should behave towards each other. I know some people who are constantly upset and annoyed about what they think you can and cannot do or say, but these are the same people who spend a lot of time on Twitter and other toxic places where every random person has an opinion and needs to shout it to everybody else. A good decision might be to delete Twitter and other similar apps from your phone and focus on your own life. Accept the fact that you don't need to have an opinion about everything, that you literally can't be informed about everything, be open to understanding how and why others around you think and feel, and make the decisions that you think will be most helpful to you in your own life. What I'm trying to say is: focus on your own self-improvement, on your hobbies (be it video games, playing an instrument, sports, etc.), and on your personal relationships (family, friends, lovers), and pay less attention to people on Twitter or in the media arguing each other.

  2. Our corporate barista (a dude) calls every woman either "love", "sweetie", or "honey" when serving their coffee, and he hasn't had any issues because of this. So these sort of experiences do vary. In life, some people do get upset about things that seem mundane, and they have the right to get upset, and they also have the right to say things that can offend. I think a lot of these conflictual situations get blown out of proportion by their overexposure on Twitter and/or in the media, when in reality most people in day to day life are reasonable. And a lot of these interpersonal issues are usually solved by simply talking to each other, it's only a few cases that become cases of harassment.
