[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, this drove my mother nuts, too, and now bugs me a bit. The reason that it bugged my mom is because the word "ladies" brings with it the connotation that there's this other group of bitches and tramps out there. It's not really a word that should be used in a professional setting.

The reason "women" feels wrong to say is because both "women" and "ladies" shouldn't be used to refer to groups of females. Why people can't just say "everyone" is beyond me. It's probably nothing I would ask someone to stop as you can see the level of offense people take to the idea that it might be offense. [/quote]

I just don't understand why being called a woman when you are a woman is considered offensive. Just like calling men by what they are, men. Being a woman is not a bad thing. Taking offense in being called a woman or a lady is saying that those words have a negative meaning when they don't! The neutralization of it all because it's all offensive drives me bashit crazy. We're all different. That's a GOOD thing. [/quote]
