I understand that "lady" is an offensive term to you, so what do you prefer? First Woman? First Female?

I do not object to the President's wife being called the First Lady. I look upon it as a term of respect.

Since when is "lady" an offensive term? Chick, babe, girl, these, in the right instance, can all be a bit offensive, but lady? I would rather be called a lady (given the linguistic origins of the word) than some other titles.

I'm a "lady" and have no problem with it....why would anyone be upset about the term "First Lady"?
Hillary Clinton is a feminist and was a "First Lady"
P.S. I agree with Rio Madeira :)

Why is such a title even needed in the first place? In other countries, the spouse of the prime minister or president doesn't even have a title. This is true, regardless of that person's sex. If we get a female president, what will her husband's title be? "First Man"? I think it's time to drop this designation entirely.

Feminists prefer only that a woman be president. They don't care about convention.

As long as Bill becomes the First Gentleman, it's fine.
