Babe, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, I know it's not important in the grand scheme of things, but seriously...

No. I’d be amused.

I get it. I had a flyer through from another clothing company that addressed me as Babe. It just made me cringe. I’m 36 FFS.

Cringey in the 'hun' kind of way, but not offensive

No I wouldn’t be offended at all but then people can get offended by a crumb on a shit these days.

Not at all. Maybe it’s a bit cringy (is that a word) but hardly feels worth being offended over.

No this wouldn't offend me.

Listen, there's a woman on another thread who has her arse in her hands because thr school gave her kid an Easter egg. Why not hook up with her and the two of you can sit and happily find random innocuous shit to be offended by together?

Nah, I don’t adhere to the offended culture. They’re using it in the same way some people use hun, it’s really not offensive.

Why would that offend anyone? It's stupid, but to go so far as saying you're offended is way over the top.

Not offended but just Hmm bit of an assumption. Do men never order from them or would theirs be addressed mate?
Reminds me of how so many food items address me as their friend too.... "Shake me before you drink me.. I'm yummy...or best before your friends nick me!" Confused

Would I be heck be offended.
Misguided is a brand that is generally for a young female demographic. It's how many of that group address each other.
It's just being on the same 'wavelrngth' as their target consumers.
I seriously havent got a problem and save my angst for important issues.
