[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the context. PP you are Right, but pointing out these differences in a professional situation- where people are discriminated against all the time- seems ridiculous. You would never say to a group of African-Americans - which most people don't find to be an offensive term in itself, "Okay, African-Americans." Why? It's completely irrelevant what their race is to the situation at hand. And it is offensive even more in a place in which discriintation has traditionally occured. Not that many years ago "ladies" in a professional situation was VERY relevant. As PPs have argued, to a certain extent it still is relevant. So why the need to point out gender? And does no one else think it matters that this usually happens from older men to younger women? To me that says something.[/quote]
