MoJo Interview: Comedian Sarah Haskins | Mother Jones
I dated this guy last year who objected to my use of the term “ladies” because he thought I was being sexist. I love the term and will not stop using it. I started using it when I became friends with Laura, who uses the word a lot. It’s just such a nice word. It’s like when diner waitresses call you “honey.” Maybe it is sexist. Whatever, I like sweet talk! As long as it’s from other ladies.
I also appreciate it from well-mannered men.

I LOVE “lady” and its iterations. My bestest friend/roommate in college and I started using it because “girl” was demeaning and “woman” was awkward and ageing. Of course, coming from a gross dude, “ladies” sounds disgusting, but most anything sounds disgusting coming from a gross dude, so that’s that.
Anyway, what is the equivalent of “gentleman” but “lady”? And if we’re going to have gender-specific nouns, I’m going to use ones that are pleasing to prudish, grumpy feminist me.
