[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My bottom line: if it's in a situation where color/gender/etc. aren't relevant, but they used to be and sometimes still are relevant and are used as the basis for discrimination, why on earth would we need to point it out?[/quote] I'm not the OP but have always hated the term "ladies." It's like fingernails on a blackboard to me, even when used by women exclusively addressing other women. (The lone exception being "Hey Ladies" by the Beastie Boys, thanks for that PP!) To those asking what to use in place in an email, etc., maybe nothing? As the PP quoted above raised, why should the gender of the recipient/audience be referenced if it need not be, unless it's all-inclusive (i.e., ladies and gentlemen)? [/quote]
