I mean, there's an obvious difference between someone else calling themselves, or allowing their loved ones and friends to call them something, than a stranger or acquaintance you barely know deciding what they will call you. Especially in a workplace environment.
But would this not be the same discussion if he were to used the "N" word? Would you be referring to the legions of black people? I doubt it, so why did you need to make a point that other women (not this one) call themselves yummy when another suggested it was inappropriate...
I can't believe people need to be told that calling someone "yummy" is sexual harassment and inappropriate. Probably the same people wondering why women needed to march last week.

It's not always. Context is always key. The fact that this was a workplace is problematic. Calling someone yummy at a bar, while weird, is hardly "harassment".
