I am not making specific reference to the term babe, but any number of other insults. Many of these that lean to ethnic, racial, and nationality in many quarters of the good ole USA will yield a good old fashioned a-whipping, if not worse.There are some sexual slurs that will get you slapped at a minimum universally in the English speaking countries.
So, you can hide behind your computer and intellectually argue your point, but this asylum is just a small portion of the real world.
Lions, tigers, and bears - oh my! And there are sculpted 250 pound 6 foot plus persons that will take you to task.

What is the the reservation in calling an attractive female performer - woman? Why must a diminutive term be used?
