I'm the youngest man in my department (creative writer at a radio station). The older sales reps continue to call me "hon" "sweetie" "baby" and "sugar" even though it's been brought up that I expect my name to be used. Not only do I find it demeaning or disrespectful, I find it a blaring double standard. If I called one of these sales reps "sweetie" or "toots" or something demeaning I'd be fired before my lips close. I have no personal relationship with any of these women. Do I have grounds to do anything to make this stop, or will I just continue to be laughed off my HR and have to suck it up?

Sure, anyone can write a book. Not everyone can write, publish, and market four books to completion.

Since believing in aliens is similar to believing in god/religion, I can totally see why this person is studying/writing books about aliens and alien abduction. My best guess (since I haven't read the book) is that he's studying aliens and abduction stories to examine why people believe what they believe, and IF there is any objective truth or credibility, or if some other phenomena is happening.

If everyone who's been abducted is lying or mentally ill (which, to be honest, is plausible), that in itself is worth studying.

Opposite actually. This is in Toronto, Canada.

The industry is small, I don't feel comfortable sharing which station.

Shoutout to Jazz FM though. As a listener, I'm a fan!

Tell them to stop? Oh shit, why didn't I think of that?!?

It's not like my post says "...even though it's been brought up that I expect my name to be used..." or anything.

And I get that you're trying to be funny, but really you're just making yourself sound like a huge piece of shit.

Nice to see harassment is a joke to you.
