It might not seem like much but checkout the wording in the first sentence of President Elects first sentence. Women and Men. Ive spent my entire life hearing Men and Women.
I love the men in my life, but damn this feels good.

My first vote for president was for Shirley Chisholm. Now Im starting to think we may have actually done some good. It was a long time coming

(9,725 posts)5. "Ladies and gentlemen" is the form my parents taught me.
The phrases "Men and women" and "women and men" sound a bit vulgar, just one step above "guys and dolls." But that's just me, and I'm old. I do understand what you're saying, though, and I rejoice along with you!
