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?

It is patronizing, or could be perceived as such. I’ve been reading some of the other discussions here and, if he doesn’t address the others like that, you might say, "If it’s all the same to you I’d rather you use my name—the way you greet our other colleagues." Possibly if he’s reminded that he’s treating you differently, he’ll stop.
