I always open with "Good morning/afternoon ladies and gentlemen", and finish with, "Thank you ladies and gentlemen for you time and attention", because I believe that is courteous and respectful. Often there are no men present, so I just use the term "ladies". It is more respectful than any other collective feminine term I know. Every time I say it I observe feminists tight faces and hard eyes leaking anger but I ignore that. On one occasion one of them called me sexist and demanded I not use the word ladies. I told her I would continue to treat her and others respectfully whether she wanted me to or not. <br /><br />I occasionally address other kinds of people too, who do not simmer at hearing the terms "ladies and gentlemen". They are ordinary well adjusted people, not insane like most feminists are.

Until they can focus on winning wars rather than sexism there will be only one outcome and it won't be good. They are soldiers, sailors or air force personnel and need no further clarification. As usual it's the air force stuffing up definitions again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-47129413619286951042016-06-03T01:11:37.871+12:002016-06-03T01:11:37.871+12:00Anon 8:21 Most of the little collage snots cant re...Anon 8:21 Most of the little collage snots cant read much past DADDIES ROOM MATE King Condornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-48108668481559480252016-06-02T16:51:37.534+12:002016-06-02T16:51:37.534+12:00Then theres MEN AT WORK and i can still remeber th...Then theres MEN AT WORK and i can still remeber those roadside work signs FLAGMAN AHEAD Spurwing Plover the fighting shorebirdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-84191305206997022132016-06-02T03:24:58.386+12:002016-06-02T03:24:58.386+12:00It's 'man' and 'men' which are...It's 'man' and 'men' which are the neutral gender words.
