The professor was giving us protocols for formal interaction. He said it was important to introduce people of higher rank first when introducing multiple people. As an intuitive Socialist, I was annoyed by all of these, since everyone is a comrade. However, some of these were worse than others:
The order, by rank and status, was as follows:
- Bishops before priests
- Prime ministers before cabinet ministers
- Bosses before employees
- Teachers before students
- Parents before children
- Men before women
…What the serious fuck

That’s weird–Miss Manners says pretty much the same thing about introductions, but says that women outrank men, and everything I found on Google just now agrees with her. I wonder if this is a [country of origin redacted] thing, or if your professor is just wrong.
