I take it as a complement being addressed with male honorifics (in the context of achievements), because it means people are respecting me more, I still correct them because if they're going to put me on a pedestal on the same level as a male, they should remember I'm a female and hopefully figure out that their level of respect for a person's achievement should not be influenced by their sex. I worry if I own being called "sir", I would be doing other women a disservice for their achievements.
