You are generalizing a very specific application of bias compared to a universal problem. Use of nicknames is, indeed, endearing. Showing disrespect of an entire class of professional performers, and repeated dismissal of one in particular simply because of their sex, is not.
Yes, pouty lips is cute, but using it exclusively to demean someone is offensive. Not in a PC way, but in a human way.
You wanna be called needle dick all the time? How about when someone is discussing the way you perform your job?
berate is 8 and benign is 9
