"It started as a sign of respect for women. A man would hold a door open for a lady. If a line were forming, a gentleman would allow ladies to go first. The woman's movement curtailed a lot of the historical signs of respect and politeness, but not all. Many ladies still appreciate a seat on a cowded bus or a man holding a door. Those who do not appreciate the gesture can get over it or not, in my opinion."

Dude, Not sure but it used to be guys were gentleman and girls were ladies. So naturaly since the bible speaks of women being the weaker sex. As gentleman, ladies first was only proper !

"ladies" is a word that's plural for lady...it's not a phrase and probably came from the Latin word laidee meaning a "piece of ***"
