what if i called you a donut?
Could be seen as patronising by some (along with words such as 'sweetcheeks' etc.), although it can be sweet if you call your woman 'cupcake'. :h::h:

Unless you were just trying to be mean there would be no problem...and anyways that's not sexist either
Depends on the circumstances, mostly no but there are a few occasion that it would be. Specifically if it we seen to be used by a man to patronise a women and disregard her opinion.

Sort of say during a debate about the eu, if a female mp raised the issue of preventing terrorism (not actually making a comment her just using it as an example) and David Cameron told this mp to calm down cupcake that would actually arguably be sexist.
kill me
No, but I prefer boo boo kitty ****.

Whilst I've no doubt in my mind that some people would call it sexist, although I find it irritating and condescending and wouldn't like to bd called it if not sarcastically, no, it isn't sexist.
