[quote=Anonymous]I am actually beginning to find this really interesting. First off, it seems to have begun as a British thing, as not to be dismissive of women/mothers/female superiors. Then, in America, it was misunderstood and diluted to the point of nonsense. Who is she? The cat's mother? Who is she? The cat's pajamas? (as a pp said). The original intent of the rule was lost. American moms, wanting position and perhaps with Mayflower pretensions, picked it up to demand respect in the face of the overall lack of power and agency. Who must respect? The children! Who am I? Not a SHE! I grew up calling everyone Mr. and Mrs. so maybe never actually had the opportunity to unfortunately call a lady a SHE.[/quote]
