is it ok to call a woman “sir”
Only if she asks you to.

Stop doing this.
Ok? Sure, who cares.
Sensical? Nope.
What’s wrong with a simple “yo” as form of greeting or to interject yourself into their conversation?
ST:V taught me that they prefer to be called “Captain”, but “ma’am” is acceptable in a crunch.
To use the wrong gender on purpose is derogatory, not recognizing the person you are talking to. Or at least most would probably consider it that way.
So the answer would obviously be a very strong no. At worst you may ruin someones day, at best you just look like an idiot.By accident? Probably fine as long as it’s not a pattern.
On purpose? No, that’s shitty.
No, it’s not okay to intentionally attempt to misgender someone.
I think most women would not appreciate it
Only if they’ve asked you to, are knighted, or are your superior officer
Why would you do that?
I’d think you were blind if you addressed me as “sir”.
It’s a bit odd. Would you like to be called ma’am or miss if you were a guy?
ig no but i wouldn’t mind
