On the other hand..."Ma'am" is ok. It's a sign of respect.

Okay, what’s the alternative. Grace is ok to give but if it’s condescending , correct the person kindly.

Nah we're not excusing making condescending, infantilizing remarks to women in the workplace.

It really depends on the use and when. Let's hear from the young lady in the back. Is different from Well, young lady, if I wanted your input,I'd ask for it.

And different if it's someone who should be using your name, versus someone who doesn't know your name ( at least at the top of mind at that moment).

Could be worse, could have said "little lady."

We're there older ladies present? Was the person using the term 20 years your senior. Unless it was meant to diminish you, a little grace... or a polite or jokey comment so they know it wasn't welcome. Young lady, thanks. I don't think I've been called that since I graduated highschool.

Ooof, I wish there was a barf emoji here.
