Well they have to process society being harsh on them for aging , men just process that shit by buying a motorcycle and listening to zztop if you're white or earth wind and fire if you're black

Tbh I've only heard men complain about not being called sir. It's always the wannabe hardass guys that force their kids to play sports all their lives

Ah, I remember being called 'Mame' by the first Tim, great guy Tim, second Tim not so much (had anger issues).

aging is more of an important thing for women, maybe because men care more about looks than women do, not sure, and also 'ma'am' doesn't necessarily carry the exact same connotations as 'sir'. i've been called 'sir' when i was 20.

I would also prefer to be talked to as "Sir", like Peppermint Patty.
