Gerry, while I applaud the KenWatch movement, I have to object to this
particular piece of editorialism. Why is "Lady" a sexist term? "Lady"
refers to either a female head of household, or more generally a female
with some sort of socio-political standing. Are you suggesting that we
eliminate the word from the English language thus robbing women of the
opportunity of being reffered to as someone of status?

(-: Ah! I see! Only men should have status! Oppressing women under a
veil of feminist intent is shameful gynophobia! :-)
