Not at all, Mr Malfoy. These are colleagues, who can be of the same age or slightly older, but use these terms to address woman colleagues with the clear intention of diminishing their contribution to the workplace. It's rather vulgar, that this should happen in this day and age, when we have all given up so much for liberty and equality.
And your suggestion is duly noted although I can't just blast a hex at Rufus Scrimgeour.
