The exact same thing jumped out at me when I was reading it. Reading it written out, it sounded so possessive for the man. Man and wife. Thats hilarious when I read your post I thought to myself, man she took everything I was going to talk about. Moving on, I actually tested, out of curiosity, what the mail-person who comes to my work would say when I addressed her. I said to her, hey its the mail man... whoops i mean mail woman. She stopped me dead in my tracks and said actually we refer to ourselves as postal employees now. She explained that it was too confusing, and that her supervisor told her that when adressing a postal employee, there is no need to designate a sex. Even she wasn't buying it. In her exact words, "call me whatever you want".
