At an official function I attended last year the proceedings started with 'Men and women, welcome to blah blah blah.' Not only did I slide down the social classes, I was now also second in line to men! confused

What are they going to say now? "Audience, please take your seats"? "You lot, please take your seats"?

What is the problem with that phrase? I don't care what anyone's gender is, but that's just daft. A phrase thats been used for centuries within theatre settings.

We should not be defined by our gender when visiting a theatre therefore the Ladies and Gentlemen title is being dropped.
