animesh 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2001 A speech usually starts with "ladies and gentle men". Why don't they ever say "gentle ladies and gentle men"? Is it impossible for a lady to be gentle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it impossible for a lady to be gentle? `Ladies` are the female equivalent of `gentlemen` by definition. This is not the same as saying `women and men` since it denotes certain noble qualities. Besides, women naturally become ladies in the presence of gentle men, don't they? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
