I must have fallen asleep during a discussion of "ladies".  What's the issue?

Haven’t seen another dance like it. The move from mad robin into the star wrong actually flows quite well.  I use men and women for roles, not genders. When I first started calling, we considered “lady” to be a four letter word - women’s movement and bra burning and all that. I still find it hard to use the word “lady” and not bristle. Times have changed, now people bristle at men and women. Go figure. I didn’t correct the “g-word” use on this version
