I still prefer Man and Ladies (and I'm aware this is old-fashioned and inconsistent),
but I certainly prefer Robins to Ravens.
I think of a Raven as a large bird, and since men are generally larger than women I get
confused! I think of a Robin as a
small bird (though maybe the American Robin is larger than the English Robin).
