Was there ever a time that referring to women as sweet confectionary was actually effective, "sugar", "baby cakes", "pumpkin pie", "sweet thing", "Honey buns", the list seems endless. I think most people would see these terms as offensive these days. Was that always the case? Why is it offensive now?

@freemo do you mean referring to women not known to you by these terms? I find it odd that people would not call loved ones by these terms, regardless of gender. They aren’t offensive are they? I find all of those terms very endearing and nurturing in tone. I must be a monster.
