MY OH MY, HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED!
I was watching the 1955 movie”The Big Knife”when during a particularly confrontational scene, one man said to another:
What’s that woman [Lupino] doing here?
Then, the other man said:
That lady has the right to be here.
…I’m pretty sure that’s how it went. Anyway, being a young woman of the 21st century, I have noticed that females today prefer to be called “women”, thinking of the term “lady” in a rather derogatory way. And, of course, they will give evidence of this. But, here’s some evidence to disprove that evidence—-it was a compliment!
