This one is interesting to me because I was on a call on Tuesday when someone addressed me and someone else as "ladies" and I had a visceral nope reaction. I honestly think that might be because he's a man and probably around my age or within 5 years of it. Whereas a previous boss of mine is old enough to be my mother and if we were on a call and addressed to me and someone else as "ladies", that would be completely fine with me.

...also I like her and am on good terms with her, and the guy on Tuesday it's pretty cordial and whatever.

New rule, perhaps, I am okay with someone referring to me as a lady if they'd include themselves in it too.
