You know, taking a 30 second look at the wiktionary page for 'lady' would have given you the proper etymological evolution of 'lady' and you still would have been correct about the meaning of the word that it originally evolved from. Either way, language grows and evolves. Meanings change. To judge a modern word off of its archaic origins is asinine.

At no point did I say I held the opinion myself. The specific person I knew who held it would have been equally charitable about yours.
