Why does this older man keep calling me a girl?

I work with this older man and tbh I don't like him that much, I have noticed something he keeps calling me girl,
Like well done girl, good girl, and such, and I feel like I cringe like I feel that i am a woman not a girl,
Is this normal? Should I stop working with him?

I am not sure but if you don't like it it's better to tell him. Here in my culture the equivalent of girl is almost interchangeable with woman if you're like under 40.

@SW-User a girl means a child here but you're right he is from a different culture maybe it's okay where he is from
