Interesting post in feminist regarding Obama's use of the word "sweetie" in reference to a female reporter.

(Ever since I heard about this exchange, I've been troubled by it. I don't know how to reconcile it.)

I am not an misandrist. However, I do see a power structure in America that is skewed to favor males (most often white). If you do not, then we cannot agree.

Certain words have power, depending on who says them and in what context. Context includes history.
