Women call me 'dear' and 'honey' at work all the time. And they certainly call each other that. I was not aware I was being victimized and 'deared'.

Of course being one of the barbarous subhuman savages who is to be feared and loathed I would never do such a thing. I know my place.

Truth.  If I spoke to women like they spoke to me, I would be unemployed and unemployable.  Like you, though, I know my place.  I once suggested that my school start a "boy up" club as a mirror to the "girl up" club we had, and will never repeat that mistake.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

What's the worst is describing a very minor incident as partof a terrible trend.

If you respect someone you call them out if they do crazy stuff (like file a formal complaint about a joke that might have caused someone mild discomfort). The smile and nod response is used for children and people that you do not respect. I don't think that a person being a woman or a foreigner should make me not respect the person.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Like I said, this is a recipe for just shutting down conversation. A common theme these days in the alt-left.

So, Berkut now believes there is an "alt-left".  That's very telling.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Something has just occurred to me: Trump will end up signing a far worse deal with North Korea than the Iran one ever was, and he'll be re-elected for it.

If she'd already spent time being "deared" to hell and back,

It's what we women call when we're talked down to, ignored in meetings, and otherwise treated as accessories rather than actual equal employees.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

In my experience, employees are routinely talked down to and ignored in meetings.  Don't see anything discrimination there.

You're assuming Meri is talking about the boss doing it.
